Our donors are people who follow the Biblical mandate of Hebrews 13:3, that says “Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them."
Many people are concerned about mass incarceration. Many decry the ballooning costs of our penal systems. But our donors are making a material change in the futures of some who really never had a chance before, a change for their children, for whom a working parent not only supplies a foundation of economic stability, but provides a map for them that they might understand how the dignity of work is better than living on government subsidies, that are never enough. We could not do what we do without our donors. All our work is made possible by their generosity.
$25 per month
For $25 per month, 2nd Chance Indiana can pay for six reentrants to go through our Jobs for Life job preparation training. Some say it "changes lives,” and means the difference between success and unemployment. Up to 89% of those who return to incarceration are unemployed at the time of their arrest. We need 42 people to reach this goal.
$50 per month
Mentored reentrants are twice as likely to get a job as are those without mentors. Further studies show that mentored reentrants are 35% less likely to reoffend. 2nd Chance Indiana mentors donate their time, but recruitment, training, and coordination are direct costs. We need 135 people to reach this goal.
$100 per month
Our Inmate Transportation Program is a game-changer for reentrants. 2nd Chance Indiana’s Reentry Transportation Program takes reentrants to and from work daily. Without reliable and affordable transportation, the odds are stacked against them getting and keeping a good job. We need 100 people to reach this goal.
