REENTRY SERVICES

The Prison Society's Reentry Services help men and women released from prison become self-sufficient and lead productive lives in the community. Often, people returning from prison find that their communities have changed, face discrimination in their search for jobs and housing, and feel isolated.

Philly ReNew is a unique program specifically for Philadelphia fathers who have a criminal background. Funded by the Department of Public Welfare, Philly Renew provides intensive job readiness services and helps the men find and maintain employment.

Reentry Services Workshops prepares former prisoners to reach self-sufficiency through a four-day job readiness workshop. These sessions help the formerly incarcerated learn skills necessary to find and keep a job. The workshops are offered Monday through Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. during the last week of each month. Pre-registration is not manadatory, but is recommended. Call 215-564-4775, ext. 121, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.

Hope Alive Support Group meets one evening each month at the Prison Society, Former offenders, and people who support them, are welcome to come to the Prison Society for a comfortable, safe environment in which they can discuss issues of concern.
