The Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC) is excited to share that ABC 7 recently featured the graduation ceremony of participants from our  Hope and Redemption Team (HART) program at Los Angeles County Prison (LAC) in Lancaster, CA. This coverage highlights the powerful impact of ARC’s transformative work within California’s prisons, celebrating the accomplishments of individuals who have completed the 12-week HART program.

The HART program, a 12-week initiative, equips incarcerated men and women with the tools necessary for personal growth, responsibility, and successful reintegration into society. Operating in nearly every prison across the state, the program has shown remarkable results, with participants 30% more likely to receive parole than the state average. These results reflect the effectiveness of ARC’s holistic approach to rehabilitation and its commitment to supporting second chances.

Led by formerly incarcerated life coaches, the HART program provides mentorship, guidance, and preparation for parole and reentry.We thank ABC 7 for profiling our inside community and programming.
