This is a reentry program that combines employment opportunities and support and assistance services for men up to the age of 35 who have been deprived of their liberty, both before and after leaving prison. The aim is to reduce recidivism by offering services that facilitate employment.
Participants must have a history of violence and/or gang involvement and be released with up to six months of community supervision. The program consists of drug abuse treatment, the development of social and emotional skills, interventions with dysfunctional families and gang involvement.
Social workers implement case management and develop plans for reintegration into the community with the help of mentors who will assist in the search for employment. After release from prison, meetings continue once a month, while financial and educational assistance, intensive case management, restorative justice meetings, professional training, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy training are offered.
