Using Second Chances to Make Communities Safer

Join  Victor B. Dickson, the President and CEO of the Safer Foundation and me for a lively discussion. Victor will talk about the issues surrounding reentry, and the work the Safer Foundation is doing to help foster safer communities. Safer Foundation is a national leader in the fields of community corrections, prisoner reentry and workforce development. Through a comprehensive suite of programs and services, Safer Foundation assists individuals pre- and post-release from jail or prison with a full spectrum of services designed to overcome the barriers to reentry. The core of Safer’s mission is job preparation and placement which enables Safer Foundation clients to experience a substantially lower rate of recidivism. Safer Foundation provides “a road back” for individuals to reenter as productive, contributing members of society. Call in live at (347) 884-8121.
