For agencies
Replace commissions with reentry outcomes
Commission revenue is shrinking and under scrutiny. CRP gives your agency a defensible alternative: value returned to the people in your custody, a published audit, and numbers your board and funders can report.
The economics for a 1,000-bed facility
Estimates based on about $1.8 million a year in commissary and media spend. Every facility is different; a shadow pilot produces your real figures.
| Rebate rate | Annual cost | Per person / year | 3-year stay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3% | $54,000 | $54 | ~$162 |
| 5% | $90,000 | $90 | ~$270 |
| 10% | $180,000 | $180 | ~$540 |
Waiving a typical commissary and media commission frees roughly $170,000 to $396,000 a year, which fully funds a 5–10% rebate at no cost to your vendor or your budget.

How a pilot works
Step 1
Shadow pilot
We ingest your facility’s spend data and calculate what each rate would return. No money moves.
Step 2
Rules set-up
With your counsel, we configure destinations for your state: store credit, release savings, or a welfare-fund split.
Step 3
Live program
Value is credited through a licensed partner. Monthly audits are published.
