About REshape
Turning Bars Into Ladders
Our Mission: REshape Minds is dedicated to reducing recidivism by working with incarcerated and previously incarcerated adults through personalized methods that help them successfully integrate into society. We accomplish this goal through resource coordination, care management, and behavioral health.
Founded in 2021, REshape Minds was born from a vision: to reimagine what’s possible for people returning to life after incarceration. Our mission is to reshape minds, reshape lives, and reshape the system—one person at a time—through compassionate care management, dedicated advocacy, and community outreach.
At REshape, we know that re-entry is more than a transition, it’s a journey. Our care managers walk alongside each client, building individualized service plans and connecting them to vital resources like employment, housing, and healthcare. We believe that everyone deserves a second chance and the support to make it count.
Our story began with a personal journey. After experiencing the impact of incarceration in her own family when her brother was sentenced to life in prison without parole, our Executive Director, Jamie Williams, set out to understand the gaps in the criminal justice system and how to bridge them. Through research, collaboration, and unwavering determination, REshape Minds was created to address the real challenges faced by formerly incarcerated individuals. Challenges like culture shock, stigma, mental health, and addiction.
We’re here to break down barriers, reduce recidivism, and build a more just and compassionate community. By supporting rehabilitation and reintegration, we not only change lives, we help reduce the enormous costs of incarceration and create opportunities for everyone.
