Every year 600,000 men and women return to our communities from incarceration. 95% of prisoners will one day come home. As a result of their criminal record, they face significant barriers to housing, employment, and other elements of a productive life.
Step into the lives of Alona, Hajee, and Jason as they seek to live out their second chance.
DIGGING IN DEEPER
The reentry process is neither simple nor easy, but we all have a role to play in helping our returning neighbors to reach their full potential. When you give someone a second chance, the entire community stands to benefit.
Dig deeper into the unique challenges men and women face after incarceration using Prison Fellowship’s A New Day 1 discussion guide. Gather your friends, small group, or co-workers for a virtual or in-person screening of the film, and then unpack it together using our prepared questions and helpful information.
