John Howard Society

The John Howard Society is a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals involved with the criminal justice system. Founded in 1961, it focuses on helping people reintegrate into society after incarceration, reducing recidivism, and promoting social justice. The Society provides various services, including counseling, housing support, employment assistance, and advocacy for policy reforms. It aims to address the root causes of crime and support individuals in building a better future, ultimately fostering safer communities and healthier lives by focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
