50 years of negative messaging against people who have been formerly incarcerated has painted a distorted picture in the minds of the general public. And due to the selling power of sensationalized stories of crime, violence and scandals, the media has further entrenched these false narratives.
But numerous community leaders and employers can shed light on a different perspective which greatly differs from what we see in the media. Thus, we’ve created a place in our Local News Portal where Community Builders and Registered Organizations can share the success stories of people who have been formerly incarcerated.
Help us change the narrative and show the public that people coming out of prison are helping to make communities safer, often end up becoming highly valuable employees, and are truly deserving to have the opportunity to rebuild their lives for themselves and their families.
If you’ve been in the criminal justice system, have changed your life around and want to help reshape the narrative, help your employer write your success story and have them attach them in the Comment section of our Local News monthly Success Stories Article. If your employer is not a Registered Organization and if you’re not a Community Builder, you can send your success story directly to us at info@pure1.org.
Note: You are welcome to attach a photo of yourself if you like, and please be sure to limit your story to 1 page, double spaced.
Numerous individuals, foundations and organizations donate time, money and resources. Many want to do good and have the greatest impact. Unfortunately, benefactors often do not directly communicate with their intended beneficiaries.
Through administering various surveys, we allow funders to hear directly from the communities they seek to help, ensuring that the organizations they fund are having a positive impact.
At the beginning of each month we administer different surveys. Be on the lookout to participate each month.
It’s good to know which organizations in your area provide the reentry services you need. It’s even better to know which providers have the highest ratings by your peers.
Please help our community identify top rated providers by submitting a Review after you have received services from a provider.
Simply go to our Service Locator on our Home page, enter the type of service the organization has provided you, enter the county they’re in and hit Submit. Once you’ve located the provider you’ve received services from, go to the top of the screen and Submit a Review. Enter a Star rating and provide a brief review. A great review concisely describes why you gave the service provider the star rating you did. In 1-4 sentences clearly describe what they did well or poorly.
To ensure the integrity of the ratings we ask Users to:
