At Bill Glass Behind the Walls, we are dedicated to providing life-changing programs that help incarcerated individuals become better parents and community members. Our programs have had a significant impact on reducing the national recidivism rate, which is a critical issue that affects many individuals and families throughout our country.
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), a division of the U.S. Department of Justice, about two-thirds (67.8%) of released prisoners were rearrested within three years, and more than half (56.7%) returned to prison or jail within that same time frame, based on a study of prisoners released in 30 states in 2005.
For over 50 years, we have conducted volunteer-driven, high-impact programs in juvenile correctional facilities, jails, and prisons. We continue to expand and enhance these programs nationwide, but we cannot do it alone. The support of generous donors like you is key to raising awareness and funds to continue our important work.
