Factors  and  Barriers  to  Integra.on

What  Worked  for  Me?  Peer  Support!  

How  Did  I  Get  Here?  

•  First  and  foremost,  an  accurate  diagnosis  with  medica:on  designed  as  non-­‐linear  approach  to  my  personal  journey  towards  recovery  and  my  needs  

•  Research  materials  provided  via  peer  from  the  outside-­‐Support/trauma/diagnosis/medica:on  informa:on  that  was  relevant  to  me  

•  Visits  were  easily  accessible  as  well  as  reduc:on  in  collect  call  costs  •  Knowledge!  •  I  took  charge  of  my  sentence  structure  and  :meline,  refused  harmful  

treatment  for  an  early  release/could  have  of  had  reduc:on  of  18  months-­‐WHY?  

•  Rebuilt  rela:onships  and  took  accountability  for  my  role  •  Got  a  job  in  prison  no  maqer  what  the  job  was/GOT  LUCKY!    •  Had  the  support  of  the  Legal  Aide  of  incarcerated  persons  to  retain  my  

visita:on  rights  with  my  youngest  son  

•  Most  Important-­‐Organic  Peer  Support  13  

What  Can  We  Do?  

•  We  must  be  smart,  innova:ve,  and  crea:ve  to  overcome  these  barriers  with  them.  Suppor:ng  best  prac:ces  and  evidence  based  recovery  models  is  the  most  effec:ve  way  to  bring  posi:ve  change  to  this  overwhelming  need.  

•  Bring  criminal  jus:ce-­‐involved  consumers,  stakeholders,  family,  advocates,  and  communi:es  together  in  a  true  collabora:on,  respecrul  dialogue,  and  build  equal  partnerships  to  overcome  these  obstacles.    

•  Posi:ve,  healing  rela:onships  based  on  respect,  shared  responsibility,  inclusive  solu:ons,  a  mutual  understanding,  and  power  are  the  core  elements  of  culture  and  systems  change.    

•  RE-­‐Entry  Peer  Support:  It  is  necessary  and  what  can  poten:ally  change  the  re-­‐entry  process  for  an  individual  that  has  never  returned  to  a  community,  integrated  successfully,  or  for  the  first  :me  reintegra:on.  Three  :mes  and  I  nailed  it…finally.  

•  The  only  person  that  knows  what  it  is  like  or  feels  like  to  return  to  society  aser  incarcera:on,  is  someone  that  has  that  lived  experience.  You  will  never  be  able  to  have  the  insight  to  properly  support,  and  there  is  poten:al  to  harm!

Mike  Jones  

                     Served  four  and  a  half  years  in  prison:    three  years  for  domes:c  violence  (state);  one  year  for  bank  fraud  (fed)  Father  of  four  children  and  two  grandchildren  Child  of  African-­‐American  and  Puerto  Rican  parents  Founded  Breaking  the  Cycle,  Inc.  in  June  2008;  in  2016  obtained  CDCA  license  19

•  Breaking  the  Cycle  Inc.  (BTC),   a  non-­‐profit  organiza:on  located  in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  improves  the  lives  of  ex-­‐offenders  (returning  ci:zens/otherwise  eligible  individuals)  by  providing  comprehensive  employment  training  and  services  and  establishing  posi:ve  employer  rela:ons.  

•  BTC  prides  itself  on  becoming  a  springboard  for  returning  ci:zens  to  reenter  society  and  become  successful  as  well  as  a  cuyng  edge,  innova:ve  reentry  organiza:on.

•  On  June  10,  2008  Michael  L.  Jones  (Mike  Jones),  a  returning  ci:zen,  founded  BTC.    Through  the  principals  of  BTC,  along  with  hard  work,  determina:on,  a  strong  mind,  good  work  ethics,  and  family  support,  Mike  worked  his  way  from  Burger  King  to  General  Motors.    Aser  seeing  the  plight  of  returning  ci:zens,  Mike  wanted  to  make  a  difference.  

•  BTC  is  a  job  referral  agency  that  educates  and  trains  returning  ci:zens  to  meet  the  community  needs.  

•  The  moqo  of  BTC  is  that  there  are  two  types  of  animals:    jungle  animals  and  zoo  animals.  Jungle  animals  get  their  own  food  and  zoo  animals  wait  to  be  fed.      

•  Mike  and  Ken  Roye  based  BTC’s  curriculum  on  their  own  reentry  trial  and  error  process.     

 

About  Breaking  the  Cycle  

Seven  Pillars  (Radicals)  of  Reentry  

•  Employment:      Successful  rehabilita:on  and  transi:on  of  most  people  with  a  criminal  past  requires  a  stable,  full-­‐:me  job  that  pays  a  living  wage.

•  Housing:    Stable  housing  has  become  increasingly  harder  to  obtain  for  returning  ci:zens,  as  property  management  companies  perform  background  checks  going  back  20  years.

•  Health:    This  includes  both  physical  and  mental  health.   •  Educa.on:  In  Ohio  over  53%  of  returning  ci:zens  lack  a  high  school  diploma  or  G.E.D. •  Family  Supports:    Possibly  the  most  important  ac:on  for  returning  ci:zens,  repairing  

personal  rela:onships  and  regaining  trust  must  start  with  family.    Support  to  not  recidivate  must  also  start  with  family.    80%  of  all  youth  (ages  16–24  or  younger)  in  the  juvenile  system  have  at  least  one  parent  that  has  been  incarcerated.  

•  Legal  Concerns:    Child  support,  driver’s  license  issues,  and  expungement  are  main  concerns  for  returning  ci:zens.    BTC  connects  clients  to  helpful  community  resources.

•  Financial  Literacy:    Since  September  2009,  BTC  has  presented  over  7,000  returning  ci:zens  with  an  opportunity  to  open  a  no-­‐money-­‐down  checking  account.    In  addi:on  to  showing  clients  how  to  open  a  bank  account,  BTC  also  teaches  clients  how  to  manage  money  and  restore  credit.

22  

The  Four  E’s  of  Breaking  the  Cycle,  Inc.  

•  EMPLOYMENT:  We  help  our  unemployed  members  find  jobs,  build  careers,  and  become  entrepreneurs.    We  search  high  and  low  to  find  job  openings  that  fit  our  membership,  and  when  we  know  something  fits,  we  make  specific  recommenda:ons.  

•  ENCOURAGEMENT:  Many  in  our  group  are  :red  of  trying  and  have  been  beaten  down  with  failures  for  years.  We  are  ra:onal  cheerleaders.  We  promote,  encourage,  and  stay  connected  with  our  members,  so  they  know  that  they  are  not  alone.  To  ignore  the  spiritual  and  emo:onal  needs  of  our  members  is  to  ignore  them  altogether.    

•  EDUCATE:  We  deal  with  issues  of  incarcera:on,  recidivism,  psychology,  economics,  educa:on,  release,  lifestyle  choices,  and  more.  We  do  not  avoid  these  issues;  we  embrace  and  discuss  them  in  a  factual  way,  remaining  sensi:ve  and  maintaining  realis:c  expecta:ons.    

•  EMPOWER:  We  help  people  become  self-­‐sustaining.    We  understand  the  need  for  support  at  different  :mes  in  each  person’s  life  and  promote  people  and  agencies  that  provide  such  support.

Effec.ng  Change  Since  June  2008  

•  Due  to  frustra:on  from  local  Career  Fairs  that  did  not  include  employment  opportuni:es  for  the  Returning  Ci:zen  community,  BTC  (under  the  advise  of  Gary  L.  Baney)  began  to  network  with  area  employers  and  advocate  for  employment  opportuni:es  for  the  Returning  Ci:zen  community.    

•  BTC  hosted  Returning  Ci:zen  Resource  and  Career  Fairs  from  September  2009  –  October  2013  in  the  communi:es  of  Cleveland,  Ohio  and  Atlanta,  Georgia  (2013  only).

•  In  September    2012,  BTC  conducted  two  Voter  Registra:on  “Take  Back  Your  Voice”  events  •  57  Returning  Ci:zens  registered    

•  January  1,  2010  –  December  31,  2012  BTC  its  social  media  classes  in  other  community  agencies  for  their  clients.  •  In  2011-­‐2012  partnering,  with  Collabora:on  Sta:on,  BTC  has  helped  train  11  clients  as  entrepreneurs  to  start  a  business.    •  In  8  years  BTC  has  served  2,208  returning  ci:zens  and  helped  882  become  employed.  •  From  May  2009–December  2013,  BTC  par:cipated  in  the  STAR  (Successful  Transi:on  Aser  Release)                      forum  with  NORC  and  ODRC’s  proba:on  departments,  serving  2,160  returning  ci:zens.  24
