The mission of the Joseph Prison to Palace Program is to create a community for formerly incarcerated men. That will facilitate a positive transitional reentry into the community wherein they can make a positive impact in their family and in society with dignity and confidence. There is a need to restore families, communities and society by returning physically, mentally and spiritually healed and financially equipped men.
Joseph Prison To Palace Re-Entry Program’s vision is to provide educational and financial literacy tools, training in new technologies, career preparation, recreation and fitness training, spiritual development and work placement, and safe supportive housing. The program will collaborate with other entities that will assist in providing services to fulfill the vision. The program seeks to help men of all ages particularly, seniors and veterans who are justice involved from NYC, especially the areas of Brooklyn, East New York, Brownsville, East Flatbush and Bedford Stuyvesant. The ideal individuals want an opportunity to make a change in their life and want support to make it! We want to be that support for them to realize their dreams.
