Dismas House is a nonprofit organization founded in 1974 to provide transitional housing and support services to men and women who have been recently released from prison or jail. Dismas provides a unique form of crime prevention by working with at risk individuals to integrate them with community volunteers, college students, and staff.
Father Jack Hickey founded Dismas House in 1974 along with a group of students as part of the Vanderbilt Prison Project.
