Submitted by Steve (no verificado) on Jue, 03/08/2007 - 10:32ambut I wonder how recently released 'offenders' will learn about this program. It's my understanding that, unless you're released on parole, you don't receive the guidance or support that could help connect people to these types of programs. I hope they have folks working in the prisons that can help.. too often this lack of counseling practically guarantees a return to jail after release.
Agreed
Submitted by tw (no verificado) on Jue, 03/08/2007 - 4:48pmbut there are a few programs in place for re-entry that aim to get people linked before they get out. The Prison to Community Program for instance, does re-entry but a large part of their work is identifying people in prison and linking them to re-entry programs on the outside. I believe prison to community is working with Street's new reentry program.
