Working with men at the highest risk of rearrest, Turn90 offers an evidence-informed model of prison reentry that is reducing national recidivism rates by two-thirds.

We combine cognitive-behavioral classes, supportive services, and on-site transitional work in the Turn90 Print Shop to create an opportunity for success after prison where one doesn’t currently exist. Every graduate is placed in a job with competitive wages, benefits, and potential for advancement.

A new direction after prison

Research demonstrates that improving emotion regulation, new thinking, and problem-solving skills is the most effective way to help people succeed after prison.

Turn90’s cognitive behavioral program includes:

  • 150-hour proprietary cognitive behavioral curriculum
  • Daily classes with role plays using real-life scenarios
  • Facilitation and guidance from program graduates on the Turn90 staff
Slide 1

Turn90 hailed as a promising program with the potential to

change the whole criminal justice system.

Slide 2

Before I came to Turn90 I’d almost lost hope. Now I’m learning things I wish someone taught me when I was younger – like how to think in the right way and brainstorm before making a decision.

Turn90 is the best thing that’s happened to me in a long time.

Turn90 selected as one of twenty organizations nationally to receive a grant from Boeing

in support of its work on racial equity and social justice.

Slide 4

One person who leaves prison and doesn’t go back is a win.

Hundreds of thousands of people who never return is a game-changer in the effort to reform our criminal justice system.
