Damascus is a non-profit prison reentry and staffing organization headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. We have worked with the incarcerated since 2002 and our mission is to be the standard-bearer in unconventional and sustainable solutions in incarceration, reentry, and the workforce to elevate individuals, communities, corporations, and the country... Damascus began in 2015 with one overarching goal: to bring a reentry model to Cincinnati, Ohio, that delivered real results for real people in real-time. Todd and Christine Marallen combined their years of experience in both the Corporate and Criminal Justice worlds to create the Damascus Model, building a continuum that starts inside correctional facilities and continues through the transition home and into employment and sustainable lives.
