After The Journey

This program is designed to help ex-offenders re-enter the community. A Re-entry Support Program. You Have Left Correction Facilities and Trying To Re-establish. Coming out of jail is coming out from one Toxic Environment into Another Toxic Environment. You have been on a long almost never ending journey coming out of jail. It is like the song (You Got Me Going in Circles) “I am an ever-rolling wheel without a destination, I am an ever-spinning top, whirling around till I drop. Oh, but what am I to do? My mind is in a whirlpool, give me a little hope, one more thing to cling to”. Cling to Creative Spirits. Let us help you to make your re-entry successful. When prisoners in the United States are released, they face an environment that is challenging that actively deters them from becoming productive members of society. Former prisoners face challenges at every level. These challenges come in many forms. 

Criminal behavior is not always easy to overcome and we do not believe that a past should be held against a person, but we also understand a person must prove themselves to regain the trust of society. We are working with people who are willing to help you through the struggles. 

Ann Jacobs who was the director of the Prisoner Reentry Institute at the John Jacob College of Criminal Justice explained that a person successful re-entry into society can be viewed through how adequately they meet 6 basic needs. Livelihood, Resident, Family, Health, Criminal Justice Compliance and Social Connection. 

We are aware that some probation and parole officers are worse than the guards in jail, sometimes intimidating, very threatening, never caring. 

You will be working with people who realize that attaining each life meet presents unique challenges many of which are interconnected. Meet with the Creative Spirits of the State of New Jersey, we are work with groups of people who care about people, no matter what your religious choice we can accommodate you and uplift your spirits.
