POST RELEASE SUPPORT

"Finding a more stable place to live has been a big improvement for me. Keeping in touch with people and being willing to talk openly to them is also important for me. Isolation has been a big challenge for me, living on my own, with a minimal amount of social contact ..... no one was ever too busy for a chat..... "

  • At Release, we provide reintegration supports to people leaving prison. These supports help individuals as they transition back into the community. We offer information, referrals to education, training, employment, and support with family reconnection. We also advocate for our clients with courts and other agencies to help remove barriers to successful reintegration.

" For several months leading up to my leaving date, I attempted to get my passport updated. I got mixed and contradictory messages from the various people involved. I also requested a copy of my birth cert. I was assured I would receive it before leaving. I never got it. Being able to prove ones identity is very important.

I needed to open a new bank account after leaving. Supporting the people going back into society would be a way that one could demonstrate effective rehabilitation."
