The Fortune Society is one of the nation’s preeminent reentry service
organizations, providing formerly incarcerated people with the skills and
wrap-around services needed to break the cycle of crime and incarceration
and to build productive lives in their communities. Fortune’s mission is to
support successful re-entry from prison and promote alternatives to
incarceration, thus strengthening the fabric of our communities. We do this
by believing* *in the power of individuals to change, building lives
through service programs shaped by the needs and experience of our clients,
and changing minds* *to promote the creation of a fair, humane and truly
rehabilitative correctional system by educating the public about the
current system and by proposing needed changes that will result in reform..

incarcerated staff and clients and our first-hand experience as a direct
service provider – with research and evaluation to advocate for a fairer
criminal justice system; promote effective program models and needed
supports for people with criminal justice histories; and change the
counterproductive laws and policies that create unfair barriers to the
successful reentry of people with criminal justice histories into our
communities. ********
