Our criminal justice system has focused on punishment, and neglects preparing people—95% of who return to our communities—to adequately reintegrate into society. The result is 75% of the 700,000 people released each year are re-incarcerated. The non-profit Refoundry is designed to break this cycle of incarceration by creating opportunities for people coming home from prisons and jails to lead purposeful lives. Their 18-month paid fellowship in craft, commerce and entrepreneurship begins with training participants to repurpose discarded materials into home furnishings, and culminates in mentoring them into their own business or career-track job.
Meet Refoundry Entrepreneur Gene Manigo, co-owner of Hammertime Studios, a custom woodworking business in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, as he talks about the barriers people face coming home from prison, and how Refoundry helped develop his artisanship and business acumen.
You can see beautiful furniture made by Refoundry craftspeople at the Refoundry Gallery, located in the lower level of Habit, a boutique women's clothing store in Park Slope, BK.
