Arizona has one of the highest per capita incarceration rates in the nation. Every year over 16,000 men and women are admitted to the Department of Corrections. Over 1,900 are released homeless each year! There are 13 prison facilities and over 40,000 men and women incarcerated in Arizona.
Prisoners are often released with only a $50 check and the clothes on their back. They face huge barriers in their re-entry into society. They are in a critical situation with no where to go and no one to turn to. Their immediate needs include safe housing, jobs, transportation, food, clothing, spiritual counseling and financial guidance.
