Reentry programming

Reentry programming built on Moral Reconation Therapy.

Structured, evidence-based programming for incarcerated individuals — facilitated by people who understand the road from the inside out.

What MRT is

A step-by-step way to think, choose, and live differently.

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is a structured, cognitive-behavioral approach that works through honesty, trust, acceptance, and decision-making in guided steps. Participants examine the beliefs and habits behind past choices, practice new ways of responding, and build relationships and routines that support a different future. Our facilitators have delivered evidence-based programming inside the Kentucky Department of Corrections since 2012.
