Reentry that Works!
The interest in changing the trajectory of the lives of reentrants is growing in academia as well as within the general public. When we reached out to Butler
University’s Lacy School of Business to see if anecdotal evidence of good employee outcomes for reentrants was true, they jumped at the chance to find out. The landmark study involved more than a year of intense analysis of work records, job performance reports, and increases in pay and promotions in these employer companies.
The result was not surprising to us. The study found that there was no statistical difference in the on-the-job performance of those with a criminal record when compared to the those with no recoord. In fact, employees who had been convicted of more serious offences, (felonies) were found to be far better on-the-job performers.
When two professors in the Criminal Justice Department of Indiana Wesleyan heard that 2nd Chance Indiana was taking job preparation training inside to 
those who were preparing for release, they knew they had to help. 2CI's Career Path Workshop is an integral part of finding success in work and life after release from incarceration, providing an off ramp from prison culture onto a highway of success called employment.
Although now retired, those two professors are still helping us to improve our product offering.
