The Turn90 approach

A customized program of cognitive behavioral classes and transitional work

A new direction after prison

  • Participants are men at the highest risk of re-arrest who have multiple barriers to reintegrating into their communities

  • Front line services are delivered by credible messengers: graduates of the Turn90 program

  • One-on-one supportive service sessions address individual needs such as identification, transportation, and housing.

  • The program combines intensive cognitive behavioral classes and transitional work in a single location to amplify the change process

  • Men are paid for their time in daily cognitive behavioral classes and to work in Turn90’s screen-printing social enterprise.

  • Graduates are placed into jobs with competitive wages, benefits, and opportunity for advancement.

A path for success

After his release, Winard wanted something different, but didn’t know how to change. Turn90 helped him find a new direction after prison.
