ABOUT Re-entry Warriors-Life savers

The purpose of The Lord's Place Reentry Program is to provide resources to returning residents who are transitioning back to our community after a period of incarceration, in order to reduce recidivism, decrease the number of crime victims, and increase public safety. Were you aware that the United States accounts for five percent of the world’s population, but houses 25 percent of the world’s prison population? It costs taxpayers $18,000 per year to house one adult in the Florida Department of Corrections and $48,910 per year in the Palm Beach County jail. Nationally, about 98 percent of people who are sentenced to prison or jail will return to the community. About two-thirds of these individuals are re-arrested within three years. In Palm Beach County, about 1,200 people are released from prison annually. People with a criminal history are faced with various obstacles in order to successfully reintegrate back into society, such as finding employment, housing, substance use treatment, and mental health treatment.
