Re- Thinking Reentry

We need to be really looking at our criminal justice system. to address the unmet need of Individuals Retuning back into society, and their social connections, because I am seeing this with  some enities.who want to see formerly incarcerated individuals make a successful transition, and over come the challenges and ripple effect one face upon release, and assist with making the transition a successful one

I read a article.Tough Economic Times, Crime Declinces In NYC.

The article statement was. economic hard times and crime declines are felt differently by diffrent neigborhoods and persons in New York City. homelessness is at an all time high. with 28,000 familes
living in city shelters, and recent high-profile shooting are clustered in some City's most vulnerable neigborhoods. Crime or no crime, many New Yorkers are having a tough time these days,
you don't say       



Reentry / to reduce recidivism and to enhance pubice safety   

  • Less likely to have and alcohol history
  • More likely to be umemployed;
  • to be engaged in mental health programs Less involved in support programming, especially drug and alcohol programs & sinifcantly less likely
  • Slighlty more violent in terms of original conviction offense;
More likely to have returned previously on their sentence; and typically out longer than parole
I find it to be a double standard when it come to our justice system

Are they really working to keep individuals home, are they collaboration with the State and the City and other Goverment Agencies, and Organizations. to just save a few. or will we see them implementing some targeted Intervention and Initiatives within the system this year that hard core, that will work for those retuning back into their communities,and neighborhoods that will have a long-term impact on formerly incarcerated individual life, and meaningful service and projects that support family as well 

There no room for conflicts. One Enities of Government Body. can not want to help whlie the other Enities of Government Body, Is coming into a community to do illegally vigorous. just won't work.
If working on reintegration of incarcerated men and women coming back into their communities and families, so their no room for unlawfull act. by our own government. all agencies must work for a greater cause to establish stable and crime-free lives

My life will touch a dozen lives
Before this day is done,
Leave countless marks for good or ill.
Before the setting sun -Anon

A heart touched by grace
Brings joy to the face.
