Measurable Results
Our mission is to measurably decrease the recidivism rate for returning citizens. We believe putting the prison industrial complex out of business begins with accurate actionable information, sustains with support from family and community. Ultimately endures with the interpersonal growth and cognitive development of the returning citizen.
At HS2CT.org we believe that an individual’s successful return to society with the goal of never returning to prison is influenced by a complex set of dynamics interwoven into the fabric of the former offender, the community and society at large, and the legal system.
We strive to empower our returning citizens' clients in their transition from institutional dependence to societal self-sufficiency.
