Flyers were sent to 200 cannabis prisoners recently. THSI is offering our reentry services through Welcome To Mars
Prison reentry program by prisoners for prisoners. Peer-to-peer support with properly trained individuals we call mentors. A mentor is there to offer guidance with everything from learning how to use a cell phone, get a replacement SS card or learn how to grocery shop and plan meals. For a recently incarcerated person to succeed in being a productive member of society, they must first have a strong foundation to work from. Get involved and learn more.
Why prisoner reentry matters
From the mid-1970s onward, public policy has emphasized punishment and retribution. The result today is a burgeoning prison population, massive state and federal expenditures on the prison system, and a growing realization that releasing offenders without support mechanisms creates a revolving-prison-door phenomenon.
Over “650,000 people are released from prison each year,” and often they return to the “high-crime, poverty-stricken communities from which they came, still battling . . . intractable poverty, educational and job training deficits, [and] drug addictions or mental illnesses that contributed to their criminality in the first instance.”
The community benefits when ex-offenders become contributing members of society who do not commit new crimes.
