For Second Chance Month in April, our partners at Youturn Health sparked an insightful discussion about reentry after incarceration. They asked our president, Augie, to share his thoughts on this important occasion.
Augie's poignant reflection underscores the multifaceted journey of reentry, encapsulating both the hurdles and the resilience required to navigate this path. As he stated:
"...the road back was still arduous. The institutionalization ran deep – I had grown accustomed to stringent structure and routine. The perpetual fear of a misstep that could send me back to prison weighed heavily."
Read Augie's thoughts below and join us in honoring the resilience and perseverance of individuals seeking to rebuild their lives. Let us all strive to make every month a Second Chance Month.
