About Us
Our Mission
To educate and create public awareness about recidivism so that programs for previously incarcerated persons who return home can succeed. To report on sentencing, parole, probation and prison reforms and how they affect recidivism. To update information regarding legislative efforts towards those reforms and effects. To report on success of programs both pre-release and post- incarceration that correlate highly to reduction of recidivism. To report on effects of prison conditions as they relate to those efforts. To report about successful re-entry programs. Fiscal issues that prohibit success. Community support. Public safety. Myths. Collateral damage to families. Employment. And, to interact with and support groups who are actively involved with facilitating such programs.
We believe an informed public will encourage legislators to balance public safety with smart fiscal responsibility.

RE-ENTRY PLANNER AND GUIDE
Let us know if you need us to send you booklets. Shipping is free.
The Re-Entry Planner and Guide is available now inside all classrooms of the Orange County jails. The 8 page workbook is designed to be used one-on-one to introduce the importance of thinking about returning home to those who are still in custody. It includes some of the best ideas from other re-entry guides with verbiage at the top of each page to guide volunteers to encourage the inmates to write their own personal plans - hopefully many months before going home.
Persons providing in-custody services can contact Returning Home Foundation for additional quantities.
Returning Home Foundation will be very happy to present a very short introduction on its use. Booklets are great for family pre-release preparation as well. .
