Visitors:
Welcome!
As Executive Director of Released and Restored it is my privilege to welcome you to our website.
Just by visiting you have demonstrated an interest in THE question:
After Prison Then What??
It is a compelling question when you consider 98% of the inmates currently incarcerated in Nebraska’s ten prisons will be released and return to our communities and neighborhoods.
It is even more compelling when you consider U.S. Dept of Justice statistics declare that 67% of the inmates released from prison and jail will re-offend and return to prison.
We believe there is a better way than simply continuing “business as usual” and recycling these individuals back through the prison system.
We believe our communities are safer and taxpayer costs are reduced when fewer crimes are committed.
We believe fewer crimes are committed when former offenders who have been released from prison don’t commit new crimes.
We believe that former offenders are less likely to commit new crimes when they have the skills necessary to live moral, ethical and legal lives in our communities.
Please take a moment to stop by our Programs page to see the types of programming we offer inmates and former offenders to teach them those skills.
Once again, Thank You, for stopping by. It is my hope that you will join us in our efforts to:
Restore Lives – Increase Public Safety – Reduce Taxpayer Cost.
