The
Mission of Dismas House New Mexico is to be
a beacon of hope and safe passage for adults transitioning from jail or prison
into society.
Over the years, we have helped over 700 parolees to transition successfully into society and have been able to expand our program with the generous help of the community.
Currently we have an 8 bed women’s program and an 18 bed men’s program located in various residential neighborhoods in Albuquerque.
Our program is unique in that we (1) only operate residential homes, employ a family oriented approach and have volunteers cook and share dinner with our residents four nights a week.
Dismas Life by Design is a state of the art, evidenced based occupational therapy program.
Our approach is innovative, experience based and highly successful. In New Mexico, 50% of parolees will commit a new felony and return to prison within three years of their release.
In contrast, the recidivism rate for Dismas House graduates is 10%. An investment in Dismas House makes “people sense”.
We don’t guarantee success... but we do promise our residents an opportunity of a lifetime.
