SECOND CHANCE PRISONER RE-ENTRY PROGRAM
“To reintegrate former offenders into the community, reduce recidivism, and to improve public safety through addressing the educational, employment, healthcare, mental health, housing, and family relationship needs of former offenders re-entering society by providing support and connecting them to needed services in the community after having been released.”

Former offenders apply for the re-entry program. They do this on their own or because they are mandated to attend.
Step 2
In conjunction with a case worker, a service plan is created to address the individual needs of the participant.

Step 4
Based on the assessed needs, the participant becomes an active member of the team, ensuring that they are a vital part of the process.
