| | The Osborne Association - Serving Prisoners, Former Prisoners, and their Families (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) |
 | | Founded in 1931, Osborne works to transform the lives of those who have come into conflict with the law, as well as their families, through innovative, effective, and replicable programs that serve the community by reducing crime and its human and economic costs. |
 | | Throughout their presentations, Osborne staff explained that their program models demonstrate that employment and family services, chemical dependency treatment, access to HIV/health care, and constructive and supervised alternatives to incarceration can reduce crime, decrease violence, and address the concerns of victims. |
 | | Carolina Cordero Dyer, Osborne’s associate executive director, explained that Osborne was founded to further the work and goals of Thomas Mott Osborne, an industrialist and former mayor of Auburn, N.Y. In 1913, Osborne spent a week as a prisoner in Auburn prison to see exactly how prisoners lived. |
