The Kronos Project does this…
…through an intensive ten-month program where prisoners find their true self, face the reality that brought them to prison, and forge communities where everyone belongs.
There are no Kronos Projects in any prison in the United States. There should be…
Our prisons are peculiar places…all different…jammed with people who harmed society.
Historically, two conflicting ideologies have dominated past penology practices – punishment versus rehabilitation. 
The nation’s prison mindset has wavered from chain gangs and convict leasing to shiny new buildings with periods of rehabilitation.
Current prison rehabilitation efforts range from academic and vocational training to re-entry and life skills counseling to spiritual initiatives conducted by faith-based and community organizations. In addition, there are active rehabilitation innovations in progress. This is all good.
However, The Kronos Project was founded on three basic rehabilitation premises:
(1) By their nature, prisons are not the centers of rehabilitation the public desires. A prison’s purpose is to maintain public safety first while helping prisoners reenter society second.
(2) There are four rehabilitation factors prisons cannot address which hinder their rehabilitation efforts.
(3) The responsibility of a prisoner’s individual rehabilitation starts with the prisoner, not the prison.
The Kronos Project addresses these three premises in three innovative ways:
(1) The program engages the four factors prisons cannot address in their rehabilitation efforts. Ten-months. Intensive. Uncommon curriculum. Unique prison community setting.
(2) The program is not a reentry program. The program targets prison influencers, lifers, long-termers, gang leaders, hard-timers, non-believers, and those who want a new way of living early in their incarceration. After graduation they return to the general population where they change the culture of the prison from the inside out.
(3) The program takes two organizations to implement, a parent company to fund and/or manage the daily operations, and a host prison where the program is conducted.
Adding The Kronos Project into a prison’s rehabilitation mix will help the prison close the gap from what they cannot do to what they can do.
