Many individuals being released from prison have no ride home.
Our staff greets them at the gate to provide safe transportation, essential items, and their first meal out.
WHY?

12.7 x

to die from an overdose.
18 x
18 times more likely than the general population
to die from suicide.
*National Institute of Health, 2014
“People who are picked up upon release and provided transportation directly to services often see more ideal outcomes compared to people who are simply released to the streets.”
