The era of mass-incarceration in America is coming to a close. “Let’s keep blame and politics out of this. It is time to simply get down to the business of planning community reentry and coordinating what is needed for success. How can you help?” -Mary Jane Clark (maryjaneclar1@gmail.com)

3. Create a plan that sets policy goals
that will serve as a roadmap for
state policy makers, agencies, and
community groups to coordinate
pre- release and post-release
activities regarding recidivism and
the reentry of ex-offenders and
probationers into communities. The
plan shall include efforts that
emphasize job training and
education, stable housing,

4. startup nc reentry Mission Ideas
Truly, all Americans are involved in this issue in
one way or another. We encourage people to come
gain new insight into best practices, the new
reentry process, and changes in the criminal justice
system that are underway. Church, community, and
non-profit leaders are all needed and welcomed in
hopes each may gain greater understanding of the
"mission fields in their own backyards.”

5. As boots on the ground at StepUp, I believe the number
one problem facing people with criminal convictions is
employability. As an AlphaUSA volunteer at Butner
Federal Correctional Center, those we minister to have real
fears about being allowed to make it on the outside. The
consequences of a conviction are severe and long lasting.
People who have completed their sentences continue to
repeatedly be branded offender on the outside.

“The most meaningful choice I made was to
become a volunteer in a women’s prison. It
touched my heart and helped me grow in my
faith! I talk about those experiences and share
the joy— and interesting people every week.”
