About our Mission
Restoring You Ministries is a faith-centered, community-based organization in Highlands County, Florida that provides support and tools for women leaving the prison system.
We walk with women as they transition from release to reintegration, and provide a safety net and resources to help them find stability.
Restoring You Ministries works with leaders in Central Florida and beyond to help organizations achieve their altruistic goals while supporting some of our community’s most vulnerable and underrepresented.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
The Connection Between Opportunity & Recidivism Rates in Women
Research provided by The Bureau of Justice Statistics shows stark figures around recidivism rates among women released from state prison, illustrating the importance of community-based support.
- Incarcerated for Drug or Property Offenses 69%
- Return to Prison for Property-Related Offenses 38%
- World’s Population of Incarcerated Women in the US 33%
“The context of reentry and parole outcomes for women is shaped by gender-related variables, such as relationships with family and children, lower cultural capital and additional challenges of reentry related to their status of women in their communities.”
Recidivism Among Female Prisoners Report – US Department of Justice, 2007
