June Meeting: Dismas House


In early June, RCC Nashville members held their first in person gathering since the COVID outbreak with a tour of Dismas House, which has the mission to “foster community awareness and understanding of the challenges and obstacles formerly incarcerated men face upon reentry by providing a system for personal transformation and growth as they transition back into society,” according to its website. Dismas House operates under the slogan “Dismas is Family,” and welcomes each person into their space as a new member of the Dismas Family, helping all who are under their care so they can make a return to society after incarceration.

The brand-new facility was absolutely beautiful and each aspect of the building was created intentionally, from the color scheme to the custom staircase which was directly inspired by the original home where Dismas was started.
