REENTRY NAVIGATION
REENTRY STARTS
WITH CONNECTION.
Beginning about 180 days before release, The Four-Seven works with institutional case managers, peer supporters, and community partners to help individuals prepare for life after prison. Together, we build connections and support that continue beyond release.
Inside prison.
And beyond the walls.
The Four-Seven serves individuals incarcerated in Ohio prisons through faith-based programs that foster hope, connection, and personal growth.
For those preparing to return home, we also provide reentry navigation and connections to community resources for eligible individuals returning to Butler and Warren counties.
Connection, before and after release.
Planning before release
Starting about 180 days before release, we work with institutional case managers to identify needs such as documentation, housing, work and transportation.
Reentry simulations
Inside participating institutions, people preparing to go home practice the first month: getting an ID, reporting to parole, finding work and housing.
Resource connections
Referrals to local and statewide providers for housing, jobs, transportation, IDs and benefits, recovery and healthcare.
Community after release
Breaking Chains, which meets the second and fourth Wednesday at 6:00 PM at Crossroads Mason, and other community gatherings.
Who can take part.
- You are returning to Butler or Warren County, Ohio, following felony prison incarceration.
- You are within approximately six months of release or have recently returned home.
- We work with institutional case managers throughout Ohio to help eligible individuals begin planning before release.
The Four-Seven does not directly provide housing, jobs, or transportation. We help you plan, identify resources, and connect with organizations that can assist. Not sure whether you qualify? Contact us, and we’ll help you identify the next step.
Finding freedom
even when you're
not free.
Frank's story reminds us that transformation can begin long before the prison gates open, and that hope grows when someone is willing to believe, connect, and take the next step.
