The DOC Ahtanum View Reentry Center in Yakima serves individuals making the transition between prison and our communities.
The legislature is proposing deep cuts to DOC Reentry Centers across our State. These facilities play a vital role in protecting public safety and preparing individuals to transition back into our communities.
EMAIL YOUR LEGISLATORS!
Send an email to your legislators urging the State to keep Reentry Centers open and fully staffed so they can continue helping individuals successfully reintegrate:
Reentry Centers provide vocational training, mental health counseling, family support services, and employment opportunities. They help people acquire skills and build connections that aid in their reintegration. This lowers recidivism, helps with rehabilitation, and builds stronger, safer communities. Research has shown that reentry facilities in Washington State are more cost effective than housing people in state prisons.
Please take a moment and send an email to your legislator now.
