InmateStrong: Promoting health. Combating recidivism.
Channel: InmateStrong
Date: 2011-06-24

California has the highest recidivism rate in the nation. 7 out of 10 felons released from California prisons and jails will be re-incarcerated within 3 years. InmateStrong was founded to combat this trend. We are a personal training organization with a difference. All of our trainers are recently-released ex-cons. We put them to work immediately, providing them with the legitimate income they need to successfully transition back into society without re-offending or being re-arrested. While they're helping you get in shape, we're helping them turn their life around. Part of the fees you pay as an InmateStrong client help us provide our trainers with Job-Readiness courses, GED tutoring, housing placement assistance and more. Our trainer-positions are temporary; our goal is for each of our trainers to gain full-time employment elsewhere, (in whatever field they like), and for another ex-con to take their place. Signup for a training session (on InmateStrong.org) today. You'll get in great shape, and you'll help someone in need turn their life around.
