TYRO Launched into Louisiana’s State Prisons
In the state of Louisiana, you will find that all 9 of their state prisons has men and women facilitating TYRO classes. This undertaking was accomplished through a two-day facilitator training that equips incarcerated individuals to learn the skills to teach our Flagship re-entry program TYRO Leadership. We believe one of the best models to facilitate TYRO is through peer-facilitation.
Taking nine facilities and working with their staff to find the best candidates to be equipped to facilitate the program is no small feat. Some of these facilities opted for in-person facilitate training while others were trained remotely through the use of various video conferencing platforms.
The TYRO Leadership program was launched in Louisiana nearly three years ago, and has become a staple for character formation programming in prisons throughout Louisiana. TYRO Leadership has proven to be incredibly effective in giving men and women hope and helping with skills to become leaders worth following.
At TYRO, we are committed to helping prisons, jails, community based facilities and community centers equip their residents to prepare to live healthy, normal lives by helping them create a plan to build for their future, and overcome the obstacles that stand in their way to becoming leaders and re-entering society and not come back to prison.
The award-winning program has been evaluated several times to endure it is helping men and women safely re-enter their communities they are going home to, and build a plan for their future.
Last year, we were privileged to sit down with Ohio Director of Rehabilitation and Corrections, Annette Chambers-Smith.
A big thank you to Director Annette for your continued trust in us and we look forward helping ODRC achieve their core mission to reduce recidivism!

Working hand-in-hand with ODRC to serve prisons
Since 2006 TYRO’s leading program partner in Ohio, The RIDGE Project, has brought their transformative work to Ohio’s prisons, serving in 21 of Ohio’s 24 State prisons as well as several community-based facilities. Through both staff-led facilitation and peer-trained residents, TYRO has served 0ver 40,000 of Ohio’s justice involved men and women with character development programming.
TYRO’s mission closely aligns with the Ohio Dept of Rehabilitation’s, allowing us to launch nearly 1,000 TYRO classes inside Ohio state prison’s, and counting. TYRO has seen dramatic and consequential outcomes, such as reducing recidivism in every ORAS category, lowering tickets and infractions, and giving men and women a lasting hope. This last key outcome is the result of the program’s aim to help participants re-unite with their families, equip them with skills to overcome barriers in their re-entry and create a clear vision for their future.
Outcomes
The outcomes that have come from The RIDGE project’s efforts as well as peer-led facilitation of classes have been evaluated and researched by several outside organizations and have resulted in being nominate as a best practice curricula in the fatherhood movement as well as character development for correctional education.

In addition to in-person facilitator-led trainings, we partnered with tablet providers to bring additional resources, videos and content to support incarcerated men and women in Ohio to equip justice involved persons reconnect to their families, plan for their future and prepare for their reentry.
“For one day longer the despatches continued to come from New York. Then they, too, ceased. The man who had sent them, perched in his lofty building, had either died of the plague or been consumed in the great conflagrations he had described as raging around him. And what had occurred in New York had been duplicated in all the other cities. It was the same in San Francisco, and Oakland, and Berkeley. By Thursday the people were dying so rapidly that their corpses could not be handled, and dead bodies lay everywhere. Thursday night the panic outrush for the country began. Imagine, my grandsons, people, thicker than the salmon-run you have seen on the Sacramento river, pouring out of the cities by millions, madly over the country, in vain attempt to escape the ubiquitous death. You see, they carried the germs with them. Even the airships of the rich, fleeing for mountain and desert fastnesses, carried the germs.
“Hundreds of these airships escaped to Hawaii, and not only did they bring the plague with them, but they found the plague already there before them. This we learned, by the despatches, until all order in San Francisco vanished, and there were no operators left at their posts to receive or send. It was amazing, astounding, this loss of communication with the world. It was exactly as if the world had ceased, been blotted out. For sixty years that world has no longer existed for me. I know there must be such places as New York, Europe, Asia, and Africa; but not one word has been heard of them—not in sixty years. With the coming of the Scarlet Death the world fell apart, absolutely, irretrievably. Ten thousand years of culture and civilization passed in the twinkling of an eye, ‘lapsed like foam.’
“I was telling about the airships of the rich. They carried the plague with them and no matter where they fled, they died. I never encountered but one survivor of any of them—Mungerson. He was afterwards a Santa Rosan, and he married my eldest daughter. He came into the tribe eight years after the plague. He was then nineteen years old, and he was compelled to wait twelve years more before he could marry. You see, there were no unmarried women, and some of the older daughters of the Santa Rosans were already bespoken. So he was forced to wait until my Mary had grown to sixteen years. It was his son, Gimp-Leg, who was killed last year by the mountain lion.
I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 things that do not work.
