Since the early 70’s, prison populations have grown from 300,000 to more than 2.3 million. These inmates struggle with a justice system that focuses on punishment and deterrence rather than rehabilitation and education. Today, approximately 600,000 people are released from prison every year without the skills and support to successfully reenter society. The result is a large portion of these individuals returning to prison within just a few years of release for new crimes or parole violations. This takes a toll on families, communities and the tax payers.

At Reentry Ready, our focus is to create a support system and resource center for both before and after release. Our programs focus on mentorship, drug rehabilitation, and ongoing education to help these individuals live crime- and drug-free lives.
