Texas
Texas manages one of the largest prison populations in the U.S., with over 100,000 incarcerated individuals. The state’s reentry system is critical in reducing recidivism, which currently stands at approximately 21%, a notable decline from previous years. This reduction is largely due to programs that emphasize education, job training, and substance abuse treatment. Partnerships with community organizations bolster these efforts, providing essential support for successful reintegration into society.
Where It All Began
Texas is where 7More's journey began in 2016, laying the foundation for our mission to support individuals reentering society. What started as a small initiative has grown into a vital part of the state's reentry efforts.
Partnerships with Texas Prisons and Halfway Houses
We work closely with several prisons and halfway houses across Texas, providing comprehensive support both before and after release. These partnerships enable us to tailor our "Seven Steps Program" to the specific needs of those reentering society, helping them navigate the challenges of reintegration.
Physical Presence in Texas
We have a strong presence in Houston and Huntsville, where we actively engage in local reentry efforts. We are also expanding our reach to Dallas and San Antonio, ensuring that more individuals across Texas have access to the support they need.
Community Impact
The work we’ve done in Texas has made a significant impact, helping to reduce recidivism and empowering thousands of individuals to rebuild their lives. Our approach is holistic, focusing on the entire journey from incarceration to successful reintegration into society.
