Mission
WITH AN EVIDENCE-BASED "INNER AND OUTER" GARDENING APPROACH TO CHANGE, THE IGP DOES THE ESSENTIAL WORK OF PROVIDING PEOPLE IN PRISON WITH INTEGRATED VOCATIONAL AND LIFE SKILLS, FACILITATING THEIR TRANSFORMATION FROM THE "INSIDE-OUT" SO THEY BECOME PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY WHEN THEY LEAVE PRISON
Program accomplishments
- Land Together (LT) DBA Insight Garden Program (IGP) provides transformative in-prison programming to over 400 participants annually across 9 prisons in California, including two medical prisons and the largest womens facility in the United States. Our unique curriculum combines eco-literacy, eco-therapy, environmental stewardship, and mindfulness education with hands-on training in permaculture gardening and landscape design. Participants engage in life skills workshops covering effective communication, conflict resolution, financial literacy, and goal-setting, with creative expression integrated throughout to foster healing, self-reflection, and cultural empowerment.Each program site features a vibrant garden co-designed and maintained by participants, utilizing innovative permaculture, composting, and water conservation techniques. These gardens serve as restorative sanctuaries, living classrooms, and sustainable ecosystems that provide fresh herbs and produce while reinforcing environmental stewardship.A recent independent evaluation by Fresno State Universitys Criminology Department highlighted the programs profound impact, noting significant improvements in participants' emotional and mental health. The study also found that only 2.5% of Land Together's (Insight Garden Program) graduates were re-incarcerated within three years, compared to California's 42% recidivism rate, underscoring the program's success in fostering long-term rehabilitation and reducing recidivism.Expenses $1,425,745
- Reentry Program: Our reentry program, led by previously incarcerated staff, serves over 200 participants annually across 14 counties, providing comprehensive support to address the complex needs of individuals transitioning from incarceration to community life. To ensure continuity of care, we integrate reentry education into our year-long in-prison curriculum and provide six months of individualized pre-release support, including case management, housing referrals, workplace readiness training, and family coordination. Upon release, participants receive a "welcome home" reentry kit, transportation, and immediate support to navigate their transition. Post-release services include connections to essential services, employment and education referrals, financial education, emotional healing circles, nature excursions, peer mentorship, and access to a rapid response fund. This holistic approach has resulted in a recidivism rate of just 2.5% among participants, compared to California's 42% average, demonstrating the programs success in fostering long-term reintegration and reducing incarceration rates.Expenses $541,703
- Fiscal Sponsorship Program: In 2023, Land Together dba Insight Garden Program fiscally sponsorsed and supported the Del Paso Heights Growers Alliance (DPHGA) in delivering impactful community-driven initiatives focused on improving social determinants of health, advancing racial equity, and addressing environmental and economic justice. DPHGA distributed over 2,100 pounds of fresh, culturally relevant produce to 85 households across North Sacramento during its fall Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)-style food distribution program. Participants received high-quality produce grown by immigrant and refugee farmers, contributing to improved food access and supporting BIPOC farmers economic sustainability.Additionally, DPHGA maintained three community gardens that provided hands-on gardening experiences, nutrition education, and fresh produce for the community. A baseline survey collected critical data to measure the program's impact on food access and community health, with future workshops and distributions planned to deepen engagement. Collaborative partnerships with organizations like UC Davis and the International Rescue Committee bolstered the programs capacity through research, technical assistance, and expanded resources. These efforts exemplify the effectiveness of fiscal sponsorship in fostering innovative, community-led projects that promote equity and sustainability.Expenses $153,160
