A Fresh Approach to Reentry.

FocuzUp's mission is to engage in diverse partnerships to construct and implement restorative justice programming for those incarcerated and model innovative reentry programming to address California's burgeoning prison system.

We do this by implementing advocacy-based and educational treatment models that allow the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated to think critically through study and engagement in environmental and political processes within their community, state and nation.

The Movement

GOO-SOOLogo-tn

We are HOME to the GOOSOO “Get Out of Orange, Stay Out of Orange” Movement!

Our goal is to deliver sustainable programming by developing leaders inside penal institutions. We believe that leadership development is a key area of empowerment that provides an organic transformation within the criminal justice system for under resourced populations.

To assist in the process of redressing our burgeoning penal systems, FocuzUp provides a neutral space for advocacy and uses collaborative training in multi-media, film, music, dance and art as a medium for educational campaigns all developed by incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people.

Our Work
G.R.E.E.N. “Giving Reentry Equal Environmental Notice”

FocuzUp has supported its first clients through solar-green training at Asian Neighborhood Design in San Francisco. We have several participants ready to attend next semester green training programs.

Our goal is to drive sustainability through education and green career training for criminal justice involved individuals. We do this in a therapeutic community setting and arrange events for evening and weekends for on-going socialization opportunities.

Green collar jobs represent an important new category of work force opportunities because they are relatively high quality jobs, with relatively low barriers to entry, in sectors that are poised for dramatic growth.

The Vision…
GOOSOO “Get Out of Orange, Stay Out of Orange” GooSooDuck-tnFocuzUp is preparing incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people with the tools necessary to build a dynamic life and family into the next generation. Through collaborative efforts, we teach and motivate those disempowered by incarceration to become politically active through creative mediums (multi-media, film, art, dance, music and broadcasting) – innovative reentry programming for urban populations.
DNA Exonerated & Trafficking VictimsHistorically we have worked with diverse criminal justice populations, including DNA exonerated individuals, trafficking victims, and long serving offenders reentering the community. FocuzUp delivers the first treatment model for DNA Exonerated at Harvard University.
Treatment Amenability Reporting for Criminal Defense
Supporting sound alternatives to prison
