How do we get from here…
 …to here?
The Challenge!
Make it simple.!
•  Start small - choose one segment of
the mass incarceration spectrum
•  Select one target audience
•  Build a network with that audience –
listen, comment, repost, create and
share
•  Share stories that build emotional
connection
•  Learn from the experience & refine the
process 
•  Do it again.
Strategy!
•  Challenge the notion that reentry
begins on the day of release from
prison
•  Propose it actually begins on the
day after sentencing
•  Training, education, and support
should happen in prison when
prisoners have time
•  Ex-inmates will be better prepared
to rejoin society as a result 
Focus: Reform Reentry!
•  Focusing on newly released
prisoners and their community
partners, create stories about their
situations that highlight gaps in the
reentry process; stimulate
conversation about ways to
improve the reentry experience.
•  Motivate others to become
community partners and grow the
reentry network.
Goal!
Reentry Community Partners!
•  Churches and other faith-
based organizations
•  Humanitarian community
organizations
Why?!
•  Clearly aligned values
•  Reach and influence among
employer/housing groups,
general population
Target Audience!
•  Promote your tweets!
•  Promoted tweets are
charged by the number
of users engaging – set a
daily and a total budget"

•  Use hashtags in your
tweets so that you can
search for various topics
later #commlead
•  Divide your followers
into lists by location
or common interests
to help keep you
organized
•  Be ready to have
conversations with
followers, and don’t
be afraid to have a
personality
Why Use
Twitter?!

•  Dan already has an account
and is active on Twitter
•  Most Twitter users are
between 18 and 49, educated
with at least some college
•  Quickly growing, with over
550 million registered users
•  A great platform to send out
short and powerful facts 
•  But our story needs a lot of
anecdotes and quotes, so
we’re expanding our proposal
to two other platforms as well
What’s On Twitter!
•  Data-heavy facts with a #Reformreentry hashtag
•  Links to reentry-related sources as well as
Youtube videos
•  Leading people back to Facebook group &
Facebook page
Data shows that 28% of prisoners released are sent back to prison
within 3 years of their release date. #reformreentry
Approximately $45 million is spent annually on operating costs for
each prison in Washington state. This is about $2500 per prisoner.
Want to reduce that? #reformreentry
WA prisons are at capacity. #reformreentry to avoid spending $250
mill taxpayer dollars to build a new prison

“It’s	
  really	
  hard	
  when	
  you	
  get	
  released	
  from	
  prison.	
  Obviously	
  you’re	
  thrilled

  get	
  out

  rejoin	
  
the	
  world,	
  but	
  knowing	
  you	
  haven’t	
  worked	
  for	
  32	
  months,	
  you	
  haven’t	
  kept	
  in
