Serving Usa

Prisoners and ex-prisonersserving USA is addressing a staggering national 54% recidivism rate for inmates who re-offend after being paroled back into our communities, by facilitating in-prison programs that address the criminogenic risk factors that lead them to commit crimes and might lead them to re-offend in the future. The tumi in prison program supported by Serving USA has had 6,165 participants since inception with 2,612 participants in ca, or, wa, co, tx, ak, al, mi, ks, fl, in, va, pa, wy and id in 2022. Recidivism rate for tumi graduates after 3 years of release is 3.7%. There were 69 graduates from the tumi program in 2022. An additional 304 inmates were served in long term programming within faith-based dorms in Texas and Florida. Additionally, Serving USA facilitates post-release programming by supporting partner organizations who provide wrap around services such as housing, transportation, job placement, financial planning and counseling that assisted 1,337 ex-offenders in a successful transition back into the community. Another 2,718 inmates and ex-offenders received legal support and services to aid in their successful transition.
