Prisoner Reentry

Prison Outreach Program– Founded in 1981, the Jubilee Prison Outreach Program is a prison ministry at the Allegheny County Jail. Once a month the program provides women and men prisoners with basic provisions including toiletries, clothes and material things.

Incarceration-to-Independence (I-to-I) – Founded in 2004 in collaboration with the Jail Advisory Board, St. Vincent de Paul Society and Michael’s Place, I-to-I provides prisoner reentry services to women inmates. I-to-I provides uninterrupted care to mothers who were incarcerated and homeless upon release, with the goal of achieving independent living. Assistance is contingent upon inmate remaining drug-free and alcohol free. I-to-I actions include:

Meet with prison case managers to identify and counsel inmates. Establish relationships with inmates and take necessary steps to ensure their acceptance into an emergency shelter upon release. Provide necessities including transportation to probation officers and state agencies to obtain identification, welfare benefits, and food stamps. Coordinate with other service providers for clothing, medical examinations, food, counseling, and vocational training.
