The Freedom to Choose Project is a nonprofit organization based in Santa Barbara, CA, dedicated to reducing recidivism and empowering incarcerated individuals to reintegrate into society. Through their in-prison programs, victim support, community outreach, and service learning initiatives, they provide opportunities for personal growth and transformation. Their impact is evident in the significant decrease in recidivism rates among participants, with female prisoners who have attended five or more workshops experiencing a recidivism rate of less than 5% compared to the statewide rate of 49%.
With a focus on redemption and the power of second chances, The Freedom to Choose Project helps individuals shed their criminal identities and embrace their value as contributing members of society. Through their online courses, such as the Choosing Inner Peace 33-Day Challenge, participants are guided in working with and releasing triggers and upsets in their daily lives, fostering inner peace and freedom. By fostering a culture change within prisons and providing support for reintegration, The Freedom to Choose Project is making a significant difference in the lives of incarcerated individuals and the communities they return to.
