Create jobs and life skills for released felons
Crossroads Solar is built on the belief that otherwise good people make colossally bad mistakes that place them in prison. Upon release, society continues to punish formerly incarcerated people by ostracizing them from opportunities.
More than 600,000 people leave U.S. prison every year. Many find their struggles are not over...
Jobs
Jobs are scarce for those with criminal records. Two thirds of people leaving prison are jobless one year after their release.
|
Housing
Many landlords will not rent to previous felons. In the months after their release, 5% of men and 13% of women are homeless.
|
Recidivism
About 67% of people released from prison are reconvicted within 3 years. Crossroads Solar exists to help break this cycle.

At Crossroads Solar, our goal is to produce perfect solar modules with people who made mistakes, and in the process revolutionize the way society thinks about crime and punishment and U.S. manufacturing capabilities. Our employees are released felons who have served their time and earned the opportunity to reenter the workforce with dignity.
