It is said that "Reentry Starts on Day One," but in reality reentry is an afterthought in our criminal justice system. I know this first hand because I served 24 years straight, and received no reentry services. If not for the support I received from family and friends, I would have been lost, and likely contributed to the 60+% recidivism rate in Pennsylvania.
The reality is that 90% of offenders will be released from prison. Therefore, Today's Prisoners truly are Tomorrow's Neighbors.
Providing basic reentry services to these Returning Citizens doesn't coddle them, it creates safer communities.
I started Tomorrow's Neighbors in order to fill a void in our criminal justice system.
Together, we can stop the cycles of crime an recidivism.
