REENTRY is a family and community REUNIFICATION process

Black people who are not immigrants are four times as likely per their total demographic population to be incarcerated for the same or similar violations of law or ordinances as others. 

 

This means more Black families, children, caregivers often elder grandparents and their communities are impacted more often than others by incarcerations in the US.  Incarceration is more than punishment for individuals it impacts people in the community who are their support systems are interwind in the legal system as well bearing financial and emotion burden while surviving incarceration.

 

Coordinated reentry processes is essential to reducing the stressors related to avoiding recidivism.  Getting the person the resources they need to adjust also keeps the family  unit where they return more stable during their transition from jails and prisons back into the community. 

​

We assist with that process for formerly incarcerated adults, juveniles and their support systems of families and loved ones. 

 

SUCCESSFUL REENTRY happens when individuals puts in more positive time and DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM and THIER PAST. 

When you decide you are willing to invest in yourself to create a better and different future to change your predictive outcome you win life rewards.  We help you get there we provide: Essential personal assessment of your life desires and needs and expectations and help you make a plan of what is  require to achieve personal stabilization going forward after a release.
