Nearly 600,000 inmates will be returning to communities across the country each year. This does not include juvenile offender’s who will also be released each year.
One survey of parolees in California reported that about 85% of the state’s parole population are chronic drug or alcohol abusers; 70 to 90% are unemployed; 50% are functionally illiterate 18% have psychiatric problems; & 10% are homeless. In some cases, prison may actually Improve these conditions. On the other hand the prison experience itself may create or exacerbate adverse physical or psychological conditions.
Jabez Mentoring, Counseling & Education, Inc., believes more can be done in prison & upon release to address these various problems and assist them to transition successfully to our communities.
