 After living in prison, many offenders come back to nothing: no money, no job, no connections and certainly no house. According to Volunteers of America, 15%-27% of prisoners expect to go to homeless shelters. After being released, prisoners face mounting
pressures of finding a job. Without a license, a car, And then there is the emotional toll. Fresh from a world of regulations, ever-changing roommates and orange jump suits, many new prisoners face culture shock. Nile Blake, an articulate New Person House resident comments on the situation, “It’s like coming back to a foreign county. Everything is different.” The New Person Center provides the much-needed transition from a
world of almost no freedom to a life of thousands of daily choices.
The New Person Center offers a haven for newly released prisoners who
have no other place to go. It serves as a transitional house for male
ex-prisoners. NEWSLETTERS: |
