Merit operates its electronic reclamation business in order to employ and train young adult offenders in all aspects of running a business. Our jobs and job-training help prepare young adults with the attitudes and skills to succeed upon release from incarceration. Merit hires individuals who show desire to learn and willingness to contribute and be held accountable and replaces those who prove otherwise. Merit pays a fair market wage from which each employee pays: Taxes 15% toward fines and victim restitution 20% toward room and board 40% into a savings account held for their release The remainder is discretionary and many save this money as well. Research shows that employment and training such as Merit's reduces recidivism more effectively than any other type of prison program Merit Partners was founded in 1998 as a California non-profit corporation, Merit, Incorporated. The goals for Merit were to: Develop a social enterprise as a vehicle to train incarcerated offenders in vital job skills before their release Strengthen communities through research and training to connect high-risk young people to positive futures Merit Partners has offices in California and Washington.
