Dismas Charities

A nonprofit social services organization focused on residential re-entry. Dismas Charities operates re-entry centers across the United States, providing tailored services for people returning to the community after incarceration. Its programs include education, workforce integration, and support for rebuilding family connections. Centers also use case management and resident accountability monitoring systems to support participants. The organization says its services are designed to address individual needs while meeting government regulations for residential re-entry centers. Dismas Charities began in 1964 with a 15-bed facility in Louisville and has since expanded its centers of service nationwide. Its work includes support intended to reduce repeat victimization and help people establish the job, life skills, and support structures needed after release.
