Reentry Team Member

Imagine two prisoners, released on the same day. One moves in with a buddy who uses drugs. The other one moves into a drug-free transitional living facility, gets a ride to church on Sundays, and gets free employment counseling. Which one moves into our neighborhoods has a lot to do with the help we provide.

For most prisoners, reentry—the transition from prison back into the community—is one of the most difficult parts of the prison sentence. Prison Fellowship reentry team members connect prisoners with the resources available to help ex-prisoners succeed, like addiction counseling, employment services, food, clothing, and housing. As ex-prisoners see their basic needs met, they gain a sense of security that helps them avoid criminal alternatives for good.

Sound like something you could do? Let Prison Fellowship train you to help ex-prisoners access critical services and become productive, law-abiding members of the community.
