\n\tItalo Sanchez was in a bad way in the spring of 2015. He\u2019d been in and out of lockup, first in juvie, then prison, since the age of 13. Now, at 35, he\u2019d been stuck in solitary for the best part of eight years. Then, out of nowhere, came a break in the clouds: a fellow inmate named Sandy sailed him a kite (a prison note sent by paper plane) about a spiritual retreat that weekend in the prison chapel. The gathering would be more about healing the past than chanting hymns and Hail Marys, said Sandy. Somehow, Sanchez talked his way out of the Box and attended the two-day gathering at Otisville Correctional Facility, a medium-security pen in mid-state New York.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat Saturday, he sat peaceably, for the first time in ages, in a room with his fellow inmates. A civilian volunteer passed along the pews, handing sheets of paper to each of the men. Write down each accomplishment you\u2019re proud of in life, she instructed. Sanchez sat before his page and wept: \u201cI didn\u2019t have any accomplishments to write,\u201d he says. \u201cI didn\u2019t graduate school, didn\u2019t go to my prom \u2014 I was raised in the system from 13.\u201d A brawler in grade school and a gangster at 12, he was the youngest \u201cpeewee\u201d ever to join the Latin Kings, the biggest gang east of the Mississippi at the time. In his stints out of prison, he strong-armed dealers in the Bronx, then climbed the rungs of the Kings in prison, committing acts of violence his OGs ordered. By the age of 18, he\u2019d been promoted to La Suprema: \u201cthe Latin Kings\u2019 warlord of New York State,\u201d as he explains it. \u201cI did assaults and armed robberies, then got to the joint and did what I did to survive,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s so much gang politics when you go upstate \u2014 slashing other gangsters before they get you. I got so much regret about the things I did, and how I made my family suffer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tBut what began that Saturday as an exercise in regret turned into something \u201cbeautiful,\u201d Sanchez says. It was there that he met the man who\u2019d change his life: a redeemer of killers and thieves named Zach Presutti. As a Jesuit priest based in New York state, Rev. Presutti had found his mission at Attica and Sing Sing. For years, he ran a ministry behind the walls of those prisons, traveling the state as an itinerant chaplain to give faith and hope to hard men like Italo. Then, three years after he met Sanchez in Otisville, Presutti founded a pathbreaking nonprofit in the Bronx. Called Thrive For Life, it offered the first safe co-housing option for formerly incarcerated men intent on going to college.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cOnce Father Zach started to speak [that day], I knew he was different from the other chaplains I\u2019d met,\u201d Sanchez recalls. \u201cHe had walked [with prisoners on] death row, so he knew the path we was on \u2014 and he didn\u2019t judge us for it.\u201d Presutti spotted Sanchez weeping at the retreat: He walked over to offer words of comfort. \u201cHe told me, straight up, just to let my past go. Whatever\u2019s haunting me, just let it go,\u201d says Sanchez. At the end of their talk, Presutti produced a Thrive For Life wristband and placed it in Sanchez\u2019s palm. \u201cCome see me when you get out,\u201d he whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSanchez earned parole in the fall of 2016; he went straight to Presutti\u2019s office in Union Square, Manhattan. But he found the door locked \u2014 the priest was traveling at the time. So, he walked away to start his life, post-prison. He got a job with a union local as a laborer, secured an apartment in lower Manhattan, and began mending fences with his family. A year or so later, he took himself to dinner at a restaurant in Chelsea. He was sitting at the bar, watching his Yankees on TV, when a stranger grabbed the bar stool beside him. \u201cHow\u2019s your day going, brother?\u201d said the man. Sanchez turned and saw Presutti. \u201cHe recognized me from the bracelet he gave me [in prison],\u201d says Sanchez. \u201cSo we started talking \u2014 and we\u2019ve been talking ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOver dinner, Presutti saw something in Sanchez: the makings of a community leader. He invited him to speak to his volunteers, the ones who joined Presutti on prison visits. Sanchez so inspired them with his story that Presutti made him an offer on the spot. He\u2019d rented three buildings he hoped to convert to housing for returning \u201cscholars\u201d\u2014 his preferred term for ex-cons pursuing an education. But those buildings \u2014 connected rowhouses in the South Bronx \u2014 needed top-to-bottom renos. Sanchez jumped at the chance to assist. After full days working at his job site downtown, he spent his nights and weekends bringing those brownstones back to life. He hung Sheetrock and laid flooring, installed plumbing and wiring, and turned those properties into apartments for ex-cons who\u2019d enroll at New York University and St. John\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBut then Covid hit us [in the spring of 2020],\u201d says Sanchez, \u201cand we was all locked down together.\u201d So Sanchez, the born leader, sat and thought. Though the buildings were pristine, their backyards were not: \u201cBroken bottles, dirty diapers, the worst,\u201d he says. He convinced Presutti to hire the residents to reclaim those eyesore yards. \u201cWe leveled out the dirt, made terraces, gazebos, and [built] raised flower beds,\u201d says Sanchez. \u201cThen we [grew] herbs and vegetables out there, and added flowers and plants.\u201d By the time the lockdown ended, they\u2019d turned urban blight into an Eden \u2014 and earned a standing ovation from their neighbors. \u201cWhen we finally got done, they came out on their fire escapes and all started applauding us, man.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tTWENTY YEARS AGO, as a seminary student at Canisius College upstate, Presutti was sent into a Syracuse prison by the minister of his Jesuit order. \u201cI did not go with alacrity and joy,\u201d he says, a touch of rye in his voice. But once there, he met inmates who read deeply and widely in their extension courses. Their \u201chunger for meaning\u201d matched Presutti\u2019s, and fired his imagination. He saw that it wasn\u2019t enough to assure those men that \u201cGod loves and forgives them all.\u201d He also had to help them harness their drive to create lives of purpose after prison. Too many of them made academic strides in the pen, then returned to New York and wound up sleeping on someone\u2019s couch. Unable to land housing or a living-wage job, they\u2019d deferred their studies until they got stable, by which time they gave up on their education.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Presutti, step one was to rent them temporary housing while he looked for permanent quarters. In 2017, he used a block-grant award to lease a dozen apartments in the Bronx. The owner of those buildings was a friend of Presutti\u2019s; several months later, the friend offered him the Bronx rowhouses for a nominal rent. Presutti approached his donors, most of them parishioners, for the money to gut those buildings. A year later, he opened Ignacio House: the first supportive setting for returning ex-cons whose goal was to get a college degree.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSanchez, whom he\u2019d hired to oversee renovations, was promoted to live-in manager of Ignacio House. His first order of business: helping its 20 or so residents qualify for public assistance. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of work getting them their birth certificate and social security card so they can sign up for benefits,\u201d says Presutti. Too often, inmates lose those papers while they\u2019re behind the walls \u2014 or so mistrust the system that they don\u2019t advocate for themselves. \u201cBut Italo\u2019s been through it and knows how to do it,\u201d Presutti says. \u201cGuys like him are the best mentors for guys coming out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tPresutti calls that advocacy \u201caccompaniment,\u201d and it\u2019s hard to overstate how rare it is. \u201cOne of the hurdles guys face when they come home is finding anyone to help them with the [scut work],\u201d says Brother Luke LePean, the spiritual director of Thrive For Life. \u201cFood stamps, Medicaid, short-term assistance \u2014 that stuff\u2019s a lifeline your first year back.\u201d But good luck getting it on your own, says LePean. \u201cIt\u2019s so easy to fall through the cracks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Sanchez, accompaniment was the easy part. The hard part was everything else. As the manager and de facto caseworker in the house, his duties were never-ending. \u201cI had to take the guys to all their [court-ordered] stuff,\u201d he says. Anger-management groups, mental-health sessions, parole meetings, etc. And he had to drug-test his housemates. \u201cI had guys here who\u2019d did 15, 20 years and didn\u2019t have no [long-term] sobriety.\u201d So Sanchez, the house OG, set the tone. \u201cI told \u2019em straight up: \u2018There\u2019s no drinking, no drugs, and no sneakin\u2019 girls in, or you\u2019ll lose your spot.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe flip side of that coin, though, was his love for those men. On nights and weekends, he\u2019d blast bachata in the kitchen while cooking up vats of ropa vieja<\/em>. He and the guys would linger after supper, trading war stories and pictures of their kids \u2014 kids most had barely seen while serving time. \u201cIf they messed up, even once, I\u2019d sit \u2019em down and remind them of the promises they made,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019d go, \u2018What\u2019d you tell me, when you first came here, about wanting to make it right with your kids?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIN THE SIX YEARS since TFL opened Ignacio House in the Bronx, it has tripled in size and enrollment. It moved Ignacio House to permanent quarters in Spanish Harlem in 2022, then opened Abraham House, a bigger complex in the Bronx. Last year, it launched its first outpost out of state, opening Joseph House in Milwaukee. Over the course of those six years, the organization has housed 150 scholars, and graduated 80 men with two- and four-year degrees. (Five of those men are now pursuing master\u2019s degrees.) It\u2019s also put dozens of residents through training programs, then sent them on to careers in the building trades.<\/p>\n

\n\tSebastian Budinich, the academic director of TFL, explained how its jail-to-college pipeline got built. \u201cWe were already inside the walls with Father Presutti,\u201d he says. \u201cHe formed connections with the schools that were working there, too \u2014 schools that had made [investments] in those students.\u201d Those colleges, said Budinich, need measurable successes to keep their grant streams flowing. \u201cSo working with us was a win-win,\u201d says Budinich. \u201cThe universities sent us their prison scholars,\u201d TFL provided them housing while they studied \u2014 and the schools got to chalk up those bachelor degrees as \u201cvictories to their funders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTFL\u2019s flagship partner is NYU: Nearly a dozen of its scholars have earned degrees there since 2020. One of those alums is Michael Pagan, who got a bachelor\u2019s degree in documentary filmmaking in 2024. \u201cI earned a major fellowship while I was there and made two documentaries,\u201d says Pagan. \u201cI give all the credit to Thrive. I\u2019d worked on myself in prison, but still came home feeling like I didn\u2019t deserve a good life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tOne of the first arrivals at Ignacio House \u2014 he was released from prison in April 2020, days after Covid struck \u2014 Pagan and Sanchez worked side by side to build those gardens out back. In the months that followed, Pagan opened up, sharing his story with fellow ex-cons. He\u2019d done 14 years for an armed robbery count and spent most of his bid at Sing Sing. \u201cI went in there weighing a buck thirty,\u201d he says. \u201cI literally thought I was gonna die in that place.\u201d Born to a teen mom in foster care, he grew up abused by, and enraged at, her boyfriends. To protect himself and get \u201csome sorta love,\u201d he joined the gang on his block. His job was to collect money owed to that gang, and, after kicking down the doors of dealers and addicts, he got caught and sent upstate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tPagan was an introvert when he got to TFL, keeping himself to himself. \u201cThat\u2019s really where TFL helped me the most,\u201d he says. \u201cThey put me here [in communal living] and forced me to use my words.\u201d Over time, Pagan \u201cunraveled [his] story\u201d in heart-to-hearts with his peers. \u201cFrom them, I saw I had a chance to show the world that prison isn\u2019t the best I can be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSanchez, who\u2019d spent years exhorting his peers to do right by their kids and families, finally took his own advice. He\u2019d dropped out of school at 11 years old, and didn\u2019t pick up a textbook till he was in solitary. \u201cThey bring you books on the cart, so I started educating myself; got my reading and writing down good,\u201d he says. But Sanchez, who was in \u201cevery max facility in the state,\u201d never felt safe enough to go to classes. \u201cIt was always politics up in there, always my gang versus your gang, everywhere I went.\u201d Until he was sent to Otisville, where he finally stopped looking over his shoulder. \u201cAfter Attica, Otisville was heaven,\u201d he says. He enrolled in courses, formed connections with his teachers, and earned his GED there.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut even after joining TFL, college felt beyond his reach. He was working two jobs, both full-time, and helping at a food pantry on Sundays. It wasn\u2019t till he mentored men like Pagan that he allowed himself to dream bigger. In 2023, he enrolled at the Borough of Manhattan Community College; he earned his associate\u2019s degree in Human Sciences last winter. Next up, he says, is a bachelor\u2019s in social work, and then a master\u2019s degree. \u201cI\u2019m just hungry for more,\u201d says Sanchez, who\u2019s now the director of community outreach at TFL.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Father Presutti casts his eyes beyond New York City. \u201cAs long as we get a building [from the local diocese], we\u2019ll go anywhere people will have us,\u201d says Presutti. \u201cWe just need the facilities to do it.\u201d He\u2019s currently in talks with church officials in Boston and Palm Beach, Florida, about opening Thrive houses there. Sanchez will be beside him every step of the way, doing anything asked of him to grow the TFL network. \u201cI\u2019m so grateful to that man, and to TFL I\u2019m not trying to let \u2019em lose \u2014 ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
