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

image8

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 Dominic Mejico at  949.939.4850 to let him know where you will be meeting how many booklets  you would like to have available or 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. .

Let us know if you need us to send you booklets. Shipping is free.
