Big Bend AFTER Reentry Coalition The Big Bend AFTER Reentry Coalition: A Fight To End Recidivism

WHO WE ARE:
The Big Bend AFTER Reentry Coalition (AFTER: A Fight To End Recidivism) began in March 2012 as a coalition of corrections, law enforcement, social service and faith based agencies whose mission is to support and improve efforts to reduce recidivism and increase public safety. We advocate for formerly incarcerated people and inmates, network with providers, share resources and informati

on, and educate the community about reentry issues. Every month we invite leaders in the community whose organizations are active in reentry to share their resources with us and deepen our understanding of the issues that confront formerly incarcerated people and the solutions available. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
~ Collaborate with law enforcement, corrections and probation services to develop a streamlined reentry approach designed to insure smooth and successful reentry

~ Reach out to new members to broaden the coalition and enrich all of our understanding of local resources and services; educating ourselves and the community about the many programs and projects in the Big Bend area which serve the needs of inmates and formerly incarcerated citizens

~ Educate the community about the positive benefits to community safety of assisting inmates and formerly incarcerated people in their transition

~ Coordinate services in order to help inmates and formerly incarcerated people access:
- Identification documents
- Housing
- Education
- Employment
- Substance abuse intervention
- Healthcare


The Big Bend AFTER Reentry Coalition meets on the second Wednesday of every month at.1:30 pm.
