Reintegration & Empowerment Programs
At Handcuff Status Foundation, our programs are built on one core belief, real change begins with community.
We create transformative opportunities that uplift youth, empower families, and support individuals affected by the criminal justice system.
Through advocacy, education, and reintegration support, we work to break cycles of violence, poverty, and incarceration one life at a time.
Each of our programs is designed to meet people where they are and guide them toward healing, growth, and empowerment.
Shaking Hands Program
At Handcuff Status Foundation, we recognize the emotional and mental
challenges that come with incarceration. We believe that no one should face isolation alone, and that meaningful human connection can play a critical role in
your journey of strength, hope, and reintegration.
​
That’s why we are proud to introduce Shaking Hands a unique service designed
to help you build friendships, mentorships, and supportive relationships with
caring members of the community.
Through this service, you will have the
opportunity to create a personal profile and engage with individuals eager to
offer encouragement, friendship, and support during your time inside and
beyond.
