Often after a person experiences hardship, they are sentenced to incarceration time, community service, or paying fines. This site aims to provide people with the opportunity to pay their debts on site, in a productive manner, instead of committing other crimes to pay debt.
The space is designed to prevent people who are trying to make a change from moving back into their old neighborhoods and falling back into the same cycle of crime. They must be enrolled in the improvement program and abstain from drug use and crime.
Creating interactive spaces that people can access for reflection, relaxation, and interaction with other diverse group of people is crucial to creating a collaborative space of improvement and community driven success. People want to succeed they don't want to struggle.
