The Re-entry Circle 

"No man or woman has been programmed to fail"

We meet weekly to receive the support and resources we need to stabilize ourselves within our families and communities. We receive this support through members working with reentry coach, and a commitment to the group and its members

 

The Reentry Circle is a safe place for the formerly incarcerated man and woman to seek support through times of frustration, unemployment and when confronted with barriers that some time result in using drugs, committing crimes, gang affiliation, and ultimately relapse or recidivism.

 

Through the Reentry Circle and the support of a reentry coach, some of us have broken the cycle of “Prison, Parole Back to Prison” (PPBP) Syndrome. The Reentry Circle has empowered us with a new belief that we can refrain from a life of crime, drugs and gangs to build new healthy and trusting relationships with our families and community. By attending the Reentry Circle, we have learned the value of including others in our plight to overcome the blocking agents we face when seeking employment, education completing parole and refrain from drug usage, crime and gang affiliation. 

 

 

The Reentry Circle is a self-help group designed to give support to formerly incarcerate and convicted men and women that have a desire for a transformation from lives of crime, drug addiction and gang affiliation.

 

We are here to support one another through our transition from incarceration to restorative citizenship. Some of us that attend the Reentry Circle have found power in the spirit of the group, and its members. We were once too addicted to drugs, engaged in criminal behaviour and some of us were gang affiliated.  Through the Reentry Circle we have moved to become productive members of our families and communities.
