'RecycleForce makes it comfortable for you to have your own swag but still get something done when it comes to certificates and accomplishments and all that.' RecycleForce a 120-day job bridge between incarceration and real-world society.
INDIANAPOLIS — Several hundred young men and women spent the day at RecycleForce taking apart old computers, TVs, printers and anything else that can be reduced to parts and sold as scrap.
"I never experienced working," Travon Taylor, 21 said."They got certificates here. I’m going to school here and I get paid to go to school. There are a lot of benefits, and they really help you and they really care." "When you can stay employed, your chances of doing crime drop. It's not perfect, but it drops," RecycleForce President Gregg Keesling said.In June, it was awarded a $2 million federal grant to launch a new job training and mentorship program for justice-involved youths 18-24. Last year, RecycleForce won a $4.3 million federal grant to provide similar employment services for folks with criminal records who are in the same age group.
Bruce Heady, 21, has been with RecycleForce for 75 days. He said he had difficulty fitting in at other job programs because it felt like everyone was judging him for his past crimes.
