The United States incarcerates more
people than any country in the world, and more than half of those who
leave prison end up going back. That’s because the parole experience
is fraught with obstacles, anxieties, and high-risk scenarios.
Thrive helps people set short-term,
achievable goals to enhance their sense of purpose as they transition
to stability. Using a mobile app or physical set of cards, parolees
can follow a track of lightweight actions and take snapshots of the
things they’re doing to get closer to their goals. A visual journal
of small wins emerges over time, becoming a foundation for
conversations with support networks of social workers, family, and
friends.
