SECOND CHANCES
Employment has the power to reduce an individual's likelihood to return to prison by:

support, positive relationships, enhanced self-esteem, and improved mental health.
+ Creating gateways to become and remain a law-abiding and contributing member of community.
+ Reducing the strain on social service resources.
