Ending Generational Incarceration
When it comes to reducing recidivism and rehabilitating the incarcerated, we have to acknowledge that incarceration is all too often a family affair. To end generational incarceration, we must address the entire family. If we provide basic education, job training, and work release programs to those incarcerated we can actively begin the road to ending generational incarceration which in turn supports and leads to economic and social development for the country.
The vision of the Eli Global Reform Foundation extends well beyond the walls of the jails where generational incarceration begins. Our ultimate vision is to help these men and women deviate from their current path to a more productive and successful approach to life.
At the basis of our vision of reducing recidivism and rehabilitation is an understanding that if we are able to vigorously work towards our goals, with an increased focus on rebuilding the family and community involvement, we can influence the next generation of leaders to help reduce the recidivism rates of tomorrow. Our vision lies in the idea that every man and woman we support in rising above and beyond these circumstances, will help them to elevate themselves, their families and their communities.

Mission
Having worked directly with the incarcerated population and their families at some of New York City’s toughest jails, we realized the innate calling to do more.
Our mission is to “Bridge the Gap” and put “Correction” back into the Department of Correction. Working on the front line in correctional facilities, we understand more than most, that many of the incarcerated population, could potentially decrease recidivism significantly if not for the lack of education, skills, understanding and resources to this group of men and women.
We feel a duty to re-defining and enhancing the idea of Correction Officers in jails. We are looking to develop a pathway for the incarcerated men and women to make better life choices and assist in developing means to support those choices. The Eli Global Reform Foundation sees the potential of incarcerated people and understand the difference we can make by taking simple but effective measures to provide resources, services, education and job-training to help guide them towards a better direction.
Achieving Our Mission
Ending generational incarceration one family at a time. For incarcerated individuals — 85% of whom will return home — the possibility of rehabilitation is undermined by the idleness and monotony of life behind bars. The continued high recidivism rate suggests that what we are doing is still not enough and can be improved. Simply releasing incarcerated people from jail is not the answer. The jails must be a place where personal transformation can be a reality. Getting there requires innovation and close partnerships with corrections professionals and others seeking to make change.
Our work includes exploring ways to better reduce recidivism and to rehabilitate people who are incarcerated. With the City and other partners, we can use education and job training to bridge the gap after incarceration by supporting re-entry into society.
The payoff of doing so is safer jails; increased rates of employment and higher incomes; much lower recidivism rates; and it also lessens the burden on the lower income families and communities most incarcerated people return to.
The Eli Global Reform Foundation
Vision
Our vision at the Eli Global Reform Foundation, is to significantly help with rehabilitating and decreasing the recidivism rate of incarcerated individuals, as well as to lessen the influence of intergenerational criminal behavior in our society. We see the potential for rehabilitation in incarcerated people whose sentencing does not exceed a year but is at least three months.
Given our backgrounds, we have the unique ability to connect to educational, political and community leaders, as well as activists, business owners, unions and an endless number of inspiring individuals committed to the same goal. We are a united group of diverse individuals truly focusing on preventing re-incarceration, thus educating and unifying our communities is very important to our mission.
Our vision extends well beyond the walls of the jails where generational incarceration begins. Our ultimate vision is to help these men and women deviate from their current path to a more productive and successful approach to life. We are committed to helping produce enriched, educated and skilled members of society that will contribute to the very communities they come from.
At the basis of our vision of reducing recidivism and rehabilitation is an understanding that if we are able to actively work towards our goals, we must also focus on rebuilding the family and community involvement. The goal is to reach the children and partners of the incarcerated by providing services that correlate with what is being done inside the jails.
Our vision lies in the idea that every man and woman we support in rising above and beyond these circumstances, will help them to elevate themselves, their families and their communities.
