Program accomplishments

  • Iron Sharpens Irons ISI is a group of justice-involved men who provide mentorship and life skills training to at-risk and justice-involved teens and adults. Having been a former resident, our founder, JaMarcus Fields, was first granted access by Warden Charles Bowen to return to the South Bend Community Re-Entry Center as a volunteer. These frequent personal visits eventually gave birth to a partnership between the Re-Entry Center and ISI. The Iron Men- the name given to the men who facilitate programming for ISI- currently facilitate monthly programming, breathing life and hope into the residents of the Re-Entry Center with their personal stories of overcoming challenges and experiencing success post incarceration. ISI has established similar partnerships with the Pendleton Correctional Facility maximum security and the DePaul Academy within the St. Joseph County Juvenile Justice Center where we present monthly or quarterly programming to the men and teens housed there. In January 2024, we began facilitating weekly programming for at-risk teens at the Tolson Center for Community Excellence in Elkhart, Indiana.
