To end the inaugural season of Thursday Night Football on Prime Video, @Amazon will help teens break the cycle of incarceration by partnering with @CafeMomentum, an award-winning restaurant, culinary training facility, and nonprofit supporting justice-involved youth.

OJJDP Administrator Liz Ryan, pictured with CEO and Exec. Chef Chad Houser and his team, toured @cafemomentum in Dallas, TX, a nonprofit restaurant that provides a 12-month paid internship program for justice-involved youth.
Café Momentum's participants learn how to run all aspects of the operation — reception, cooking, waiting tables and sales.
And while the state of Texas’ recidivism rate is 48.3%, the rate among those in the program is 15.2%. https://t.co/4WM7pCLhdy
