Resources Provided
by Building Families Together
A lot of work and effort goes into providing the right resources to fathers who have just been released from jail/prison. Once you are legally recognized as an offender many things change. Building Families Together’s resources are here to help you deal with those changes. The way people see and interact with you is different once you are out of prison. Because of the history of incarceration, it can hinder the process of finding employment, housing, and successful reentry.
Different Kind of Service
Community correction includes the supervision and management of returning citizens to keep them away from any kind of situation that could lead to recidivism. Many times, community correction also becomes a substitute of punishment for an offence. It is imperative for the people going through community service to report to their community correction officer and sometimes they also need to join a community service program or a rehabilitation program.
Our services provide help to the returning fathers that will best serve them on the successful reintegration back home and into society. This is done through giving interventions to returning citizens that want to make a positive difference in their lives and their families lives. We focus on reducing the involvement of returning citizen from the criminal justice system. Building Families Together promotes law-abiding lifestyles among returning fathers so that they become good citizens, husbands, and fathers.
