Important Factors
For as many benefits as there are, there are also important factors to consider when hiring people coming out of incarceration.
Realness Project directly addresses every one of these considerations in our workshops.
Dignity - Serving time behind bars tends to drain people of their dignity.
Normative Behaviors - Surviving in prison requires inmates to learn behaviors that aren’t normative in society.
Feedback - Receiving course correction while in prison can be devastating.
Handling Conflict - The way people on the inside respond to challenging comments and people is sometimes very different.
Trust - It’s hard to know who to trust in prison. The rules are different on the inside.
It’s All About Communication & Relationships
Realness Project excels in teaching people how to communicate when problems arise and things get challenging. All of the tools we teach are directed toward communication and authentic relationship building.
