That\u2019s where Catholic Charities\u2019 Cornerstone Builders Program comes in, but they need the help of local business.<\/h5>\n<p>In 1993, Danielle Metz received three life sentences plus an additional 20 years for conspiracy to distribute cocaine. For 23 years, she fought for clemency and on August 30, 2016, Metz was granted her freedom and joyously reunited with her three children.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of becoming one of the 34% of former inmates in Louisiana that return to prison within three years, within the same year of her release, Metz received the Joseph Massenburg Memorial Award for Excellence in National Service for her exemplary commitment to service in the New Orleans community as a Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans (CCANO) Americorps member.<\/p>\n<p>Metz was able to successfully transition from prison life to a life of service with the help of CCANO\u2019s Cornerstone Builders program \u2014 a reentry\u00a0program for formerly incarcerated men and women based on rehabilitation through service. The program acts as the foundation of a transformative experience designed to benefit not only the individual, but the families and victims of crimes, as well as society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a starting point for my new life,\u201d says Metz. \u201cThe program gave my life new meaning coming back into society. It was like a launching pad to become successful in everyday living.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first program of its kind when it was created 12 years ago, Cornerstone Builders uses the AmeriCorps model.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of tapping college students, however, we take on formerly incarcerated people,\u201d says Program Director Ronnie Moore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe focus on leadership training,\u201d he says. \u201cMore than just helping folks get off drugs or helping them to get a job, we challenge them to do more than just pay back but to become a part of the leadership structure. They become the service leadership in the community working side by side with the operators of the systems, such as the churches and universities that provide services to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to lowering prison recidivism, the first few days after release are crucial, which is why, in conjunction with the Louisiana Department of Safety and Corrections, Cornerstone Builders provides help connecting people with job resources, emergency housing and immediate employment to persons within the first 72 hours of release from local correctional facilities, including the option of serving in Catholic Charities\u2019\u00a0Food for Families\/Food for Seniors\u00a0program, which delivers monthly food boxes to low-income elderly individuals. While performing this service, participants receive a modest living allowance, an educational award and workforce development services to help them find permanent employment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParticipants are able to earn an income and receive intensive case management while looking for a job,\u201d Moore says.<\/p>\n<p>Studies have shown that immediate employment and shelter assistance within this crucial period of time greatly reduces the likelihood of recidivism. In Louisiana, 43 percent of ex-offenders are likely to be back in jail within five years. However, if released prisoners are able to find and hold a job for three years, that rate drops by more than 50 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Moore says Cornerstone relies on local businesses to help by being open to hiring formerly incarcerated individuals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that business owners can look at these people as assets rather than liabilities,\u201d says Moore. \u201cToo often we make the assumption that because they engaged in crime or that they were poor and they lack talent and that is not always the case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Cornerstone Builders Programs Include:<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Connecting Families \u2014 Bus Project<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cornerstone Builders\u2019 Bus Project travels to all 13 state correctional facilities and connects hundreds of family members with incarcerated loved ones each year.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2007, Cornerstone has been coordinating free bus service for New Orleans families who have loved ones in Louisiana detention facilities. The organization offer 17 trips: one each month and the remaining on major holidays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt provides a means of regular visits for many family members who cannot drive or who can\u2019t afford to make the journey,\u201d says Moore.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to promote healthy relationships, encourage a network for family support, provide an incentive for good behavior by inmates and inspire better cooperation between inmates and prison officials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Supporting Children \u2014 Cornerstone Kids<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A mentoring program for children ages 5 to 18 who have at least one incarcerated parent, Cornerstone Kids relies on\u00a0community volunteers to provide support and encouragement to children. Mentors develop a positive relationship with the mentee through one-on-one activities and group meetings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYouth with an incarcerated parent experience trauma and stigma that negatively affect their mental health and wellbeing,\u201d says Moore. \u201cAnd it increases the likelihood of their living in poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advocating for Systemic Change<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every year, Cornerstone Builders hosts a symposium that concentrates on systemic change in the criminal justice system. Government officials, nonprofit leaders, religious clergy, local business owners and formerly incarcerated individuals come together to discuss strategies to end mass incarceration. Another goal is to abolish the death penalty in Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA major emphasis of ours is on the\u00a0revision of sentencing laws and\u00a0re-entry bills,\u201d Moore says. \u201cLouisiana has the most legal restrictions on employment for ex-prisoners of any state in the nation. We are seeking to heal the damage that widespread incarceration has inflicted on our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Syrita Steib-Martin is the executive director of Operation Restoration, a nonprofit that supports women and girls impacted by incarceration. Cornerstone and Moore often refer women to her organization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is so knowledgeable and nonjudgemental and he helped navigate me through the system,\u201d she says. \u201cYou know, they don\u2019t tell you in prison about the barriers you\u2019ll find when you\u2019re released.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Metz believes Cornerstone\u2019s focus on giving back to the community was essential to her success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt makes others in the community know that they aren\u2019t forgotten and that others care about their lives and existence.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_175365\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a class=\" photoswipe gtxlightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bizneworleans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/5.-LENS_Nonprofit_02.jpg\" data-lb-width=\"800\" data-lb-height=\"1198\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-175365 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bizneworleans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/5.-LENS_Nonprofit_02.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bizneworleans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/5.-LENS_Nonprofit_02.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bizneworleans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/5.-LENS_Nonprofit_02-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.bizneworleans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/5.-LENS_Nonprofit_02-768x1150.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bizneworleans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/5.-LENS_Nonprofit_02-684x1024.jpg 684w\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1198\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-175365\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-175365\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Program Director Ronnie Moore<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Major Fundraising Event:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>NOLA to Angola<\/h3>\n<p>Every October, more than 50 cyclists participate in a three-day ride that spans 170 miles \u2014 from the corner of Tulane Avenue and Broad Street to the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola.
