Overview

Mission

Treatment program for inmates with substance abuse disorder

What it reported doing in 2025

Approximately 1,513 male inmates and 582 female inmates have received the benefits of our program. During the treatment period, the inmates feel good about themselves, are confident, show self-esteem and feel assisted with their moral compass. There have been about 865 male and 300 female graduates.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
