"What is Dismas House?
Dismas House is a supportive community that provides transitional housing and
services to former prisoners and real-life educational opportunities to students
from area colleges, and from througout the US and the world! The men and women
of Dismas House live and work as a family, helping each other grow towards the
goal of reintegration into society. Dismas provides a consesnsus-based, sober
alternative to a return to the streets, and a return to incarceration. Our
cooks, donors, board members and other volunteers help make reconciliation a
reality.
"Dismas House Works!"
-Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking and Nobel Peace Prize nominee
Dismas House does work. Both a city-sponsored study and a three-year tracking
project of recidivism rates found that Dismas House residents stabilize and
succeed at rates between 69-75%. This stands in stark contrast to the general
prison population, who return to jail at a rate of 75%!
How it Works
The key to Dismas House is the phrase "Dismas is family". The success of the
house is a collaborative effort. People living in the house pay part of the
operating expenses. Students are given opportunities for internships in
non-profit management and/or live-in positions in the Dismas community. There
are simple rules, such as no violence, drugs or alcohol; and there are
expectations, such as attendance at dinners, curfews, chores and participating
in house meetings and activities
How it All Began
Dismas was founded in 1974 by Rev. Jack Hickey, O.P., and concerned students
from Vanderbilt University in Nashville. They recognized the need for former
prisoners to have a stable housing environment after release from incarceration.
In 1988, concerned citizens in Central Massachusetts opened a Dismas House in
Worcester, following the example of Jack Hickey and his students.
The Mission
The mission of Dismas is to reconcile former prisoners to society, and society
to former prisoners, through the development of a supportive community.
Supportive community is characterized by: students and former prisoners living
together in a family setting, active involvement of volunteers from the broader
community, and a spirit of open and participative decision-making by all in the
community, with emphasis on the common good."
