What is JOLT Nebraska? JOLT stands for : ( J)obs (O)ffered (L)ife

(T)raining

JOLT is a charitable organization that seeks to help recently released or paroled people in Nebraska, with re-entry.

Our Mission:

JOLT Nebraska is dedicated to provide recently incarcerated individuals opportunities to develop and use their working skills for successful and positive transition back into society.

What is Recidivism? Latin recidīvus  "recurring",

from re- "back" + cadō "I fall“

By definition, it is the return to prison by a discharged inmate within 3 years of release, from a new conviction, parole violation or technical violation.

Impact of Recidivism: $28,200/Year

• The average cost for the people of Nebraska to house an inmate in our correctional system for one year.

22 Months• The average time for a person to be incarcerated in

Nebraska is 22 months.

Nearly 40% • The portion of all persons that serve18 months or more and

are released, that will commit a new crime, or have their parole revoked within a three year period.

Why are they prone to repeat? 80% of the people released have

substance abuse issues, causing low self esteem

No one “believes” in them or shows that they care for them

 Inability to learn from past mistakes

How We Accomplish Our Goals: JOLT Nebraska combines a Vocational

Training facility with a Recovery Center.  This unique combination allows us to provide two significant functions in our facility:

• Furnish jobs for people to work together as a team

• Offer self-help groups and counseling for individuals re-entry

Mentoring effects:

Dr. Tom Osborne supports JOLT Nebraska and our objectives to reduce recidivism, through rehabilitation, mentoring and skills training.

JOLT uses the power of Mentoring and team building to build belief and self confidence in the recovering.
