HOPE FOR PRISONERS, INC. IS A REGISTERED 501 (C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT FACILITATES REENTRY AND REINTEGRATION SERVICES TO MEN, WOMEN, AND YOUNG ADULTS WHO ARE EXITING VARIOUS SEGMENTS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM. HOPE FOR PRISONERS WAS FORMALLY ESTABLISHED AS AN INDEPENDENT NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION IN JANUARY 2012 AFTER EXPONENTIAL GROWTH IN THE REENTRY ARENA. OUR HOLISTIC APPROACH IS TO ENCOURAGE AND IMPART HOPE INTO EX-OFFENDERS AS WE COME ALONGSIDE THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES IN EFFORTS TO TRANSFORM LIVES AND SYSTEMATICALLY EDUCATE SOCIETY IN WAYS TO ENGAGE AND SUPPORT THEM. THE PROGRAM IS GROUNDED IN THE BELIEF THAT WITH THE PROPER ASSISTANCE, EX- OFFENDERS RETURNING TO THE COMMUNITY CAN OVERCOME THE MANY BARRIERS TO SUCCESSFUL LIVING THAT THE INCARCERATION EXPERIENCE CAN CREATE.
