What is the transformation donations will make possible?
The costs of unsuccessful re-entry and re-incarceration negatively impacts communities, families and individuals. Re-Entry preparations must begin on the first day of incarceration and effective re-entry practices recognize the important relationship that must be established between behavioral, physical and relational health.
What is possible for people after the transformation has taken place?
By addressing barriers such as housing, employment, and health support during incarceration, our clients can eliminate logistical barriers to re-entry.
What is the ripple effect of the impact?
Families are punished through incarceration even though they are not the ones who have been accused or sentenced. They experience restricted rights, diminished resources, social marginalization...even though they are legally innocent and reside outside the prison's boundaries.
Why is the impact important? Intergenerational incarceration-one of the biggest risk factors for going to prison is parental incarceration--reflecting one in a series of separations and stressful situations facing children during the process.
