Hustle 2.0 delivers rehabilitation programming that helps corrections departments reduce criminal behavior, violence, and recidivism. We address the top criminogenic needs using an evidence-based, trauma-informed curriculum that's written in the relatable voices of the currently and formerly incarcerated. Participants gain coping and reentry skills, confidence, and hope through prosocial exercises and cognitive journaling that leads to changed thinking and behavior — and a reduction in criminal activity, violence, and recidivism for our corrections partners. We currently work in 300+ prisons and jails nationally, and we're on a mission to enable access to Hustle 2.0's programs for all incarcerated people in the US.
