What We Believe

Positive, supportive re-entry is in the best interest of the community with respect to public safety, a more fully employed population, a decrease in substance abuse activities, and decrease in crime rates. Sustainable resources and intensive support assist justice-involved individuals and significantly reduces recidivism.
