Incarceration Community Corrections More difficult to get a job Earn less money Challenges returning to school and community May see health problems worsen while incarcerated When lower risk individuals live among high risk offenders there is a likelihood of increasing the risk to re-offend Changing lives, reducing harm, and helping build your community • Help individuals stay employed and/or in school • Keep them paying taxes and participating in our local economies • Help them remain involved in their families • Pay their child support and court obligations • Make restitution to crime victims
