Seventy Times Seven Ministries, Inc

Description

We are a faith based entity that provides spiritual guidance, career, and housing opportunities for former inmates enabling them to successfuly reenter society.

We begin this process by selecting inmates for our program 60-90 days before their release. We interact with the inmate and his family, to insure that they have spirituial guidance literally on a weekly basis. In addition, we develop his resume, submit his resume and have confirmed career opportunity before his release, as well as housing. We work closely with our "partners" including Churches, Employers, Mentors, and Government agencies who have reentry programs.

Currently the national rate for recidivism(inmates returning to jail within three years of their release) is 50-70 % . We have counselled in the prison/jail for the last 7 years and reentry over the last 2 years, with a 80% success ratio.
