To break this cycle, an effective reentry ministry must consider the needs in all areas of the returning citizen’s life: social, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, environmental, and physical. These are the most common needs of a newly-released person returning to your community. IMMEDIATE NEEDS OF EX-PRISONERS
ONGOING NEEDS NEEDS OF EX-PRISONERS
Recidivism is frequently related to medical issues and/or substance abuse. For example, a person may be diagnosed with a medical or psychiatric problem and given medication while in prison. But when released, that medical or psychiatric care is discontinued. Many resort to using alcohol or other drugs to self-medicate, thereby violating their terms of parole and eventually being rearrested. The Urban Institute in Washington, D.C., has conducted a long-term study on the many challenges faced by ex-prisoners when they return home. Click this link for a summary of their findings: Returning Home: Understanding the Challenges of Prisoner Reentry Recovering from the losses and dehumanization of incarceration doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time and ongoing support. The healing and restoration of ex-prisoners is most effective when it takes place among a strong body of believers who are fully committed to demonstrating Christ’s love toward prodigal sons and daughters returning home.
