Life after incarceration
Does not have to be overwhelming
“I had no clue where to go next”
As my release date came closer I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders. I had no idea where to go. I had no idea what do do. I almost didn’t want to leave prison.
“200 dollars and no directions”
Many people don’t know that when you’re released from prison, there’s no one to help you. They just give you 200 dollars and no directions. No information. No hope.
“My transitional home was like prison”
Parole required me to stay at a specific transitional hom after my release. I was stuck in a small room with 6 other people. It was dirty, it was cramped, it was inhumane. Living there was like prison
“I wrote 400 letters. I got 4 replies”
I’m not even sure how many of the ‘resources’ that are in the handbook even exist. All I know is that they never got back to me. I wrote over 400 letters and I only got 4 replies. All rejections.
Rooted in real life experiences
When I heard that I was going to be
released
, it was
supposed
to be a moment
filled with joy.
It
wasn’t.
Instead
, it was a moment
filled with dread
.
Where do I go from here?
Here’s why we think
Reentry is broken
Lack of information and data for reentrants
Lack of accountability for providers
Lack of understanding about reentry as a whole
Reentrants can’t successfully navigate reentry
Our mission is to connect people, data & systems together to ensure holistic success in reentry
