Organizations Filed Purposes:
Thrive For Life Prison Project creates opportunities for spiritual development and provides educational resources for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals while partnering with local universities and local employers.
Action: Thrive For Life builds relationships with individuals while theyre incarcerated and then continues nurturing those connections on the outside. This continuity of care is essential to our mission. We understand where people have been and what theyve been through. Mutual respect and trust form the bridge between the inside and the outside. The housing crisis in New York City is especially intense for men and women reentering after years of incarceration. Moving from the deplorable conditions of a prison cell to an overcrowded shelter is not responsible or sustainable. The answer is to provide a holistic continuity of care for this vulnerable population.Through Ignacio House, we will provide transitional and supportive living for those just coming out of jail or prison who are engaged in studies, followed by access to affordable, permanent housing. On the inside, our retreats utilize guided meditation, spiritual exercises, group sharing, movement exercises, and individual presentations to guide participants through their thoughts, emotions, and spiritual well-being. On the outside, our events and services include monthly Sunday Suppers where our community of staff, volunteers, partners, and participants gathers for food and camaraderie, cultural events throughout the city, and one-on-one mentoring sessions with our Academic Mentors, Spiritual Mentors, and Wellness Mentors.
Contemplation:Since 2016, Thrive For Life has brought retreats, spiritual exercises, and accompaniment to more than 700 women and men in six federal (BOP), state (NYSDOCCS), and municipal (NYCDOC) correction facilities in the New York City region. In 2019, we continue our ongoing commitments to individuals serving time at Rikers Island, Manhattan Detention Complex, Sing Sing Correctional Facility, Otistville Correctional Facility, Wallkill Correctional Facility, Shawangunk Correctional Facility, FCI Otisville, Taconic Correctional Facility for Women, and the New Jersey State Prison. Our retreats combine guided meditations and reflections with group sharing and discussions to help inmates develop the ability to turn inward and listen, and then to understand and articulate their thoughts and emotions.
