Reconciliation and Re-Entry Ministries

Reconciliation and Re-Entry Ministries Reconciliation and Re-Entry Ministries are are committed to aiding returning citizens as they rejoin the Durham Community

Within 3 years after leaving prison 66% of former inmates are re-arrested, with about a 50% conviction rate. Reconciliation and Re-Entry Ministries seeks to put an end to recidivism in Durham for previously violent offenders by providing community resources and circles of support and accountability. Reentry provides a tremendous opportunity for change and renewal for faith community members and re

leased prisoners. To begin a newly-directed life, released inmates have intangible needs such as re-adjusting to an environment requiring more responsibility and self-determination and many tangible needs such as:

-Finding a place to live
-Finding and maintaining a job with a living wage
-Avoiding substance abuse
-Forming and maintaining healthy relationships
-Connecting with community resources
-Re-connecting with family
-Finding positive activities to fill spare time

Since 2004 over 100 former prisoners and two adjudicated young teens partnered with 27 faith teams. For those partners who stay with us a year the recidivism rate is between 10% - 11%
