Thumbs up...to the Safe Streets and Second Chances project

More than 400 Kentucky inmates are participating in a re-entry program focusing on services both during and after incarceration. Carrie Pettus-Davis, a researcher from Florida State University, said re-entry program specialists work with inmates, acting almost like community navigators for these individuals and they do it prior to release and then after the individuals get home. We hope this project provides valuable insight to the state and others. Far too often, those that have been in jail end up back in jail due to not have the proper tools to succeed once released.
