Helps Ex-Offenders in DC
The officials at the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) in Washington, DC, know they are better funded than most community corrections agencies. But this independent executive branch agency has taken its good fortune and organized myriad programs to serve ex-offenders in communities throughout the nation’s capital.
New Reentry Program Cleans Up
With any new program, one expects difficulties or kinks that need to be worked out. However, the director of the relatively new Work Ventures reentry program in Savannah, GA, said he has no problems.
Church Links Prisoners With Families
Traditional ministry work with offenders involves counseling and reentry preparation, but the problems involved with family reunification are often overlooked. The Reverend Eugene Neville, pastor of Mount Moriah Baptist Church in Brockton, MA, teamed up with Weed and Seed and others to create a program that would help these families.
