The United States is the worlds leader in incarceration with 2.2 million people currently in the nations prisons or jails -- a 500% increase over the past thirty years. These trends have resulted in prison overcrowding and state governments being overwhelmed by the burden of funding a rapidly expanding penal system, despite increasing evidence that large-scale incarceration is not the most effective means of achieving public safety.

This is a statitistic that America should not be proud of and more resources should be provided to decrease the prison population.

Operation Reset is a program goaled towards providing training, building confidence, and the skillsets to those that have been told for so long due to their backgrounds, poor decision making, lack of work experience, or simply because they're homeless.
