STATEMENT OF WORK
A. BACKGROUND:
In September 2000, the Executive Staff of the Federal Bureau of Prisons approved a concept which would initiate a pilot program of multi-faith Residential Re-entry Program. This voluntary program, Life Connections, will initially be located in five institutions in various regions of the country. The program will be available to men and women inmates.
The program provides inmates with intensive opportunities for spiritual growth and deepening their religious roots by sharing common space and programs for the purpose of personal transformation and reducing recidivism. Inmates participate in religion specific and multi-faith program components designed to bring restoration with God, family, community, and self. The program’s design increases religious tolerance and respect among inmates of various faiths; connects each inmate with a spiritual mentor; and links participants with a faith community at their release destination in order to enhance community reintegration. Another component of the program initiates specific Victim Impact programs to assist inmates in claiming responsibility for their actions and making amends with victims, family, and community.
The program enlists partnerships with individuals and organizations in its efforts to lower recidivism and facilitate spiritual growth and personal change. Volunteers, contractors, mentors, sponsoring religious congregations and organizations are all essential partners in the program.
The goal of the Bureau of Prisons Residential Life Connections Program is to provide inmates living in a shared living space with intensive opportunities for holistic life restoration for the purpose of reducing recidivism and enhancing prison management.
