“When I started working at Shisa I had preconceived notions about the character of  inmates. I've learned they do have goals and aspirations. I feel like I'm making a difference.”

"As General Manager of a Tallahassee

Hotel, I have worked with the Shisa House for over 10 years. The House is a great source for both front of the house staff and back of the house. The women of Shisa are dependable, reliable, and always go that extra mile!

Upon arrival at Shisa House, inmates attend a work-readiness orientation. Shisa has designed curriculum to assist inmates in overcoming fears they experience after long absences from society and mainstream employment. This training includes everything from proper dress, preparing résumés, interviewing, and how to explain gaps in their employment history.

Working in the community governs the daily lives of most of the residents, who are mandated by the Florida Department of Corrections to obtain employment. Shisa House is North Florida’s job transitions community partner.
