Over 3,800 people have been exonerated in the U.S. since 1989. When released, they don't qualify for reentry support available to those on parole or probation. Our founder knows this gap personally. MILES of Freedom is his answer to it. More via @apnews: bit.ly/4uPTwFZ

Beyond a Second Chance: Why Reentry Requires a New Beginning - mailchi.mp/fb5e31681be1/b…

A financial system that was never designed to welcome people back can make stability harder to reach. As we prepare to expand our pre-release programming, we look forward to partnering with @Chase to provide hands-on finacial literacy training for life after incarceration.

Second chances are the core of humanity. If we can't accept other people's flaws and imperfections, then who are we really? To us, every second chance is a new beginning. #SecondChanceMonth

During #NationalVolunteerWeek, we’re celebrating every person, organization, and business that has volunteered with us in support of individuals, families, and communities impacted by the justice system. Thank you for sharing your time, talent, and treasure over the years!

We’re thinking about renewal in every sense of the word this #EarthDay. 🌎🌱 Not just for the places around us, but for the people working to rebuild their lives and reconnect with community. Community care is bigger than one day, and stronger when more people are part of it.

Through our Transition to Employment Program, participants joined @Texas_Trees for training on how to plant trees. 🌱🌳 Each person gained real-world experience that strengthens employability while contributing to healthier, more resilient communities.

Thank you to @SteveNoviello & @Paige_Susanne for the warm welcome on @FOX4's The Ten! We appreciated the chance to help expand understanding around reentry and the support it takes for those reintegrating to move forward with dignity and stability. bit.ly/4tTZ8OW
