The Laughing is over

The Media and Newspaper have had their laugh and joke about  the Newburgh Four, Now that the laughing and joking is over. let take a look at these men existing on the fringes of society

There are some new and old Federal Programs being created  or re-created to help those who are returning home. for example Laquerre Payen, who got lost with our system once he re-enter back into society
Corrections  or the institutions he left should have emphasize his need by developing a individual re-entry plan which would have systemically link him to service's and mental health treatment

Reentry Policy Council speck about charting the safe & successful return of prisoners to community
change in cultures of criminal Justice & health and human services working with organization so that
administrators of these entities recognize the safe and successful return of individuals coming back to their communities from which they came from

So what happened with these man? where was the parole officers?
State and local government authority must work with other agencies and organization to formulate better protocol

that must be tailored to account for individuals risk and need. while they are incarcerated, to prepare them for re-entering back home. it look like time spend in jail or prison should be center around treatment and education & training
