Desistance isn’t just about avoiding prison, it’s about building a new life that lasts.

Here’s what helps people truly move forward:
 💡 Hope and motivation to choose a new path
 🧭 A new sense of self, “I’m more than my past”
 🤝 Supportive relationships that believe in them

✅ Research shows that people who get training, stable jobs, and support after release are much less likely to return to prison.

 ✅ Meaningful employment reduces recidivism by up to 24% — and second-chance employees often have higher retention rates than their peers.

 ✅ People who receive education or skills training while incarcerated are 43% less likely to reoffend than those who don’t.

At CCT, we support this vision by connecting people to housing, mental health care, job training, and consistent community — the key building blocks of a stable, thriving life.

🎯 Your gift helps someone move forward.
