Restoring Lives, Reducing Crime, and Recidivism

Our History

The roots of the RUInside program can be traced all the way back to 1996. In 1996, a man named Steve Curington developed the RU Recovery Program, a faith-based addiction program.

The RU Recovery Program has had great success helping people around the world to overcome their addictions. The RU Recovery Program was so effective that many requested for the program to be adapted for jails and prisons.

The RUInside program was developed to help inmates in jails and prisons to overcome their addictions and to change their lives. The RUInside program is affordable and practical for the institutional setting and can be used in prisons, jails, rescue missions, half-way houses, and other institutions.

What Drives Us

Our Mission

RUInside California aims to reduce crime, recidivism, and victimization through education and addiction recovery in the local community and behind jail and prison walls.

Why We care

Why Help Inmates?

At least 95% of inmates will eventually be released into our communities. Unfortunately, a high percentage of them will commit another crime within 3 years of release. Many of these crimes could be prevented if inmates received the help and support they need.

By helping people in our jails and prisons to overcome their addictions and change their lives, we can:

• Restore lives
• Restore families
• Reduce crime
• Reduce recidivism

As a result, our communities will be safer and better places to live.
