Our Vision

At the Tom Clements Foundation, we are continuing Tom's approach to corrections - rooted in dignity, data, and real-world impact. We aren't a substitute for Tom's expertise, wisdom, experience, temperament, and sense of humor - but that's why we are partnering with his colleagues, friends, and you.

From unscripted conversations behind the bars to scalable models like the ORI Program and our upcoming Normalcy Unit Certification, we hope to spark ideas, connections, innovation, and possibility within justice reform. If you share our belief that systems can change and futures can be rebuilt, we invite you to connect with us. With the right support, we can take these proven solutions further—across states, borders, and generations.

Global Webinars featuring Prison Systems and Innovative Practices

It is our hope that our webinars expose Corrections leaders to new ideas and approaches to better serve justice-impacted individuals.

Case Studies and Research

We know that investing in education, substance use treatment, job training, and behavioral health treatment is beneficial for incarcerated individuals and leads to safer prisons.

We are working with Recidivist to highlight the data they are gathering that proves why the investments on the inside result in people leaving prison and returning home, where they are contributing to their families and communities.

Ultimately, creating safer, healthier, economically secure, and flourishing communities.
