Homeboy Industries: Stopping Bullets with Jobs

Restoring Dignity of Former Convicts and Gang Members: Challenges and Opportunities
Ramon âMonxiâ Flores was sitting in Father Boyleâs office when Carlos came through the door. Carlos was 24, had recently been released from Corcoran State prison after serving a 10-year sentence (Exhibit 2.1). He had a shaved head and was covered in tattoos, including two prominent devil horns on his forehead. He was having a hard time finding a job; he had never had a job before. Father Boyle understood why he might not necessarily get hired right away and gave him an opportunity to work in the Homeboy Silkscreen division. The day after Carlos had started the job, Father Boyle called to ask him how it felt to be working. Carlos replied, âIt feels properâŠIâm holding my head up high.â1
For nearly 20 years, Father Gregory Boyle, affectionately referred to as âFather G,â âG-Dawg,â or simply âG,â had been on a mission to find jobs for former gang members and ex-convicts, whose âburdens are more than they can bear.â Father Boyle pled his case before audiences nationwide in hope that an employer might be listening and would want to be âa part of the solution (Exhibit 2.2).â2 Homeboy Industries, a nonprofit organization founded by Father Boyle in the East Los Angeles district known as Boyle Heights, was primarily a job development and placement service provider. Although Homeboy Industries had an open door policy, its primary objective was to assist at-risk youth, former gang members, and ex-offenders in finding employment (Exhibit 2.3).
Father Boyle entrusted Ramon âMonxiâ Flores with the duty of assisting Homeboy Industriesâ clients with the difficult task of finding jobs since Monxi was the Employment Supervisor of the Job Developersâ Division. Father Boyle gave Monxi an annual goal to place 1,000 clients in outside employment, a 333 percent increase over the previous year. The reason that Father Boyle assigned such a high figure was due to the incredible surge in former convicts and gang members who were trying to enroll in Homeboyâs training programs, and would therefore need to find employment afterward. Monxi knew that this would not be an easy task. Many employers were concerned with the risks involved in hiring Homeboy Industriesâ clients. How could Monxi convince an employer to hire former gang members and ex-convicts? Was knowing that they could change a life enough of a reason for employers to hire from this risky labor pool? What could Monxi do to meet his ambitious goal?
Recidivism and Unemployment for the Ex-Convict Population: A Major Societal Problem
The employment needs of the nationâs ex-offenders were a key issue to policy makers due to the costs of the judicial system and recidivism.3 According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Blacks were six times more likely and Hispanics twice as likely to go to jail compared to Whites.4 The State of California alone, which is designed to house a total of 82,707 inmates, has a current population of more than 137.2 percent of Âcapacity at 113,463 inmates.5 This problem is exacerbated by high recidivism rates. When ex-offender employment programs began to roll out in the early 1960s, program developers recognized that ex-Âoffenders were poorly Âeducated and lacked work experience.6 Therefore, programs for Âex-offenders offered job training and job placement. However, many researchers found that those programs had no significant impact on Ârecidivism.7 Today, more than half of the inmates in the state of ÂCalifornia return to prison within six months, and teenage felons have an almost three quarterâs recidivism rate.8 While this represents a humanitarian Âconcern, it is also a problem for the state and therefore taxpayers as well, since the cost of housing, feeding, and caring for a prisoner has ju...
