About us
In lndlana, there are fewer than 100 beds of
work-release housing for women that are not located on prison grounds, and even less transitional housing available. Yet over 1,500 women are released from the state’s prisons annually. Despite a critical need for housing, women are a lower priority than men.
Formerly Incarcerated women are holistically underserved upon release, but now more than ever due to COVID-19. They are returning to a society
that has been upended In every way, and face great hardship, especially In terms of housing and employment. The recidivism rate for women In Indiana Is more than 32%. That discouraging figure reflects how difficult It Is to re-enter society unaided after spending years In prison. For many, their main allies are our
community of post-Incarcerated women; as
such, we are dedicated to providing, a safe
and welcoming place to land.
Constructing Our Future was created by and continues to be led by previously incarcerated women in Indianapolis.
