The prison gate is not the end of the journey โ it is often the most dangerous part.
Inmates released without support face homelessness, unemployment, social stigma, and the gravitational pull of old environments and associations. Without intervention, recidivism rates in Nigeria exceed 60%.
Our Reintegration Program begins 90 days before release and continues for 12 months afterward:
PRE-RELEASE:
โ Career counseling and employment planning
โ Documentation support (NIN, bank accounts, certificates)
โ Family reconciliation sessions
โ Goal-setting and financial literacy workshops
POST-RELEASE:
โ 30-day transitional accommodation support
โ Employment placement with partner businesses
โ Business starter grants for vetted entrepreneurs
โ Ongoing monthly check-ins with a dedicated case manager
โ Access to alumni peer support network
Among program participants tracked over 24 months, our reintegration graduates show a 78% reduction in reoffending compared to the national average.
