How Community Reentry Centers Benefit Communities

• At least 95% of all state prisoners will be released from prison at some point. (Bureau of Justice Statistics). These individuals will be returning to every neighborhood in the nation; without reentry services the are more likely to re-offend.
• Residents are originally from the community. Rather than being released without assistance, our programs aid in the transition back into society while providing intense supervision of residents.
• Because residents are more likely to be employed and less likely to re-offend, reentry programs save taxpayers money and make communities safer.
• Program participants are taught the life skills necessary to become a productive member of society and less likely to be repeat offenders.
• Local businesses benefit by employing residents of our reentry centers. Employers are able to tap into a motivated workforce that is held accountable to follow through with their responsibilities. Employers may also see tax benefits as a result of employing our residents. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f5884.pdf
