When we meet with inmates, we are trying to develop an honest relationship with them. We share resources that will be available to them when they get out. We want to introduce them to employment and education opportunities. We provide resume building, free transportation passes, special educations services if the need their high school diploma. When they come into our organization, they are evaluated for their strengths and weaknesses. We have individuals who want to become welders or may want to become a cook, so we help them get their certifications and achieve their goals. We help them get into college if they want to get a degree.
