Dismas House is one of my pet projects because it is an inexpensive way to help people help themselves. Ex-offenders learn to become responsible for themselves and others. The sense of community is there because volunteers, students, former prisoners, and staff care about each other. Dismas House is an extended family."
-- Judge Ernest Pellegrin, Former Commissioner of Corrections
