Prosecutors fought hard to lock up this reformed man for as long as possible based on his criminal history. He shipped off to Department of Corrections (DOC) for his 8 year prison sentence...and only served 11 months of it in custody. DOC pushed him out the door with zero support inside and zero support upon community re-entry. What would John have done if Nate and I did not re-connect with him and wrap around support?

This happens daily to hundreds of others in our system and we all wonder why the re-offend...
