Reentry Coaching & Support
As part of the Four-Seven Reentry program, individuals are paired with our Reentry Coordinators six months prior to their release. The coordinators provides focused support on their primary area(s) of need. Their knowledge of community resources, including area employers and transitional housing options, help clients successfully navigate their transition and avoid common reentry barriers.

In addition to community partner collaborations and Reentry coordinators we have a safe, non-judgemental Men's Support group, Breaking Chains that allows authenticity and sharing that promotes healing and builds trust.

We also realize reentry is a family journey from the time a loved one is separated; and that day...begins their journey HOME! So, we are here too to help families navigate the reentry with information, resources and collaboration with our family services.

Dayton Correctional Reentry Simulation
In sixty to ninety minutes, the Simulation mimics the first month of release for ladies scheduled to go HOME within 3 months. Participants experience the struggles and challenges faced by individuals as they transition post release. During the simulation participants navigate obstacles such as getting IDs, reporting requirements, acquiring employment, housing, etc. By experiencing the simulation, volunteers also gain visibility into the resident's perspectives and discover innovative ways to help those we serve succeed. Our mission is that each participant leaves EMPOWERED and EQUIPPED to leave prison and never return!
