Ever think about how our re-entry non-system promotes return to prison? Come experience how difficult it is to get around the roadblocks upon release from incarceration. You’ll be given your own release status profile with requirements to be fulfilled immediately upon re-entry into the community. Then the fun begins! It will be an enlightening, fun and, sometimes frustrating, morning, and you will leave more sensitive to the “life sentence” that follows those once incarcerated. Come ready to do the work!

On Friday, October 1, 160 women were released from Perryville Prison. Many more incarcerated people may be released due to the passage of the recreational marijuana bill. Do you know what they face when they do leave incarceration? It isn’t an easy transition.

Come to our Re-Entry Simulation on Oct. 23 to experience the roadblocks that one faces upon release from prison. The simulation is a fascinating experience.
