Our
society in its mentality of indifference as it specifically relates to
affording [real] employment opportunities to the formerly incarcerated
person is a form of roadblocking these individuals from the avenues
of leading successful lives. Instead of perpetuating the economical
handicaps that this already disadvantaged population encounters within
their communities, we [must] engage in the empowerment of these
individuals to become productive members of the communities they will
[all] eventually come home to.
There exists a raw reality that there is
MUCH needed development of resource collaboration and education as
they apply to this unique individual, the formerly incarcerated person.
The
bottom-line being the overall need of constructive, PROACTIVE
assistance in securing gainful employment and housing upon release,
therefore enabling persons returning from prison institutions towards a
more fruitful and successful reintegration into society. A Real Second
Chance.
