Did you know that....

The United States incarcerates more people than any other nation on Earth. Shockingly, approximately one in every four prisoners worldwide is confined within U.S. correctional facilities, despite the country comprising only about five percent of the global population. This massive system comes at an extraordinary cost, exceeding $60 billion annually to sustain the incarceration of millions.

 

Fidelis Mitigation Consulting, LCSW was established on the urgent conviction that humanity must pursue more humane and effective alternatives to the pervasive crisis of mass incarceration. A significant proportion of individuals behind bars struggle with untreated mental illness, substance addiction, and systemic poverty. Disturbingly, many public and private schools across the nation have become complicit in funneling youth into the criminal justice system for even the most minor infractions, perpetuating a cycle of punishment rather than prevention.

 

The devastating impact of a felony conviction is too often misunderstood until it is irrevocably imposed. In the United States, such a conviction can strip individuals of fundamental opportunities, including access to financial aid, stable housing, gainful employment, military service, voting rights, and professional licensing, effectively marginalizing them from mainstream society.

 

In New York State, the legal system permits minors to be prosecuted and sentenced as adults, abruptly severing them from essential resources at a critical developmental juncture. This practice not only undermines their capacity to rehabilitate and thrive but also dramatically escalates the likelihood of reoffending, perpetuating a devastating cycle of recidivism.
