Our Mission
Greenhope's mission is to empower women involved
in substance abuse and the criminal justice system to reclaim their lives, reunite
with their families, and rebuild their communities.
Over the years, it has developed formal relationships with the criminal justice system and has expanded its work to include services for women on parole and those referred by the courts as an alternative to incarceration (ATI). |
Women In
Prison In 2001,
161,200 women were incarcerated in U.S. jails and prisons. |
Success Rates
Greenhope maintains a 75% successful
completion rate among parolees which is significantly higher than the 25% standard
set for the population by the Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services. | |||
