JAIL AND PRISON REENTRY SERVICES | CATHOLIC CHARITIES OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF DUBUQUE

Individuals released from jail or prison often return to their communities with no employment, home, or support system and need to overcome the social and psychological challenges of incarceration. These individuals can be some of the most vulnerable members of our society.

Through a vast network of volunteer mentors and support groups, Catholic Charities' Jail & Prison Ministry program supports formerly incarcerated individuals as they work toward positive re-entry into family and community life. Program Coordinators and volunteer mentors meet with participants to provide the needed support to resist relapse into old habits and lifestyles.

The program helps participants establish positive relationships, experience healthy social activities, and connect with community resources that can aid in finding work, affordable housing, and meeting basic needs.
