Re-Entry Program Request

When the release date comes, and the key is turned, and you walk out those gates, a new life begins. However, closed and locked doors also await you on the outside when you have a criminal record: doors to jobs, housing, and more. You need a “key” to open those doors and get a new life.

CMNRP is an information referral service for ex-offenders. We understand the special challenges that come with being an offender. We will provide a list of community support that is available in the area you are returning to.
• Shelter and housing
• Employment
• Education
• Clothing
• Family Services
• And more….

If you tell us what your needs are, we’ll try to find a resource that can help. We handle each case individually to try to surround you with a circle of support for your new life. Use this pre-release planning guide to organize your thoughts, then fill out all necessary informational forms that will help us understand your direct needs, that will help you in your transition back into the community.

Know your most basic needs
• Proper Identification (State ID, Birth Certificate, Social Security)
• Transportation
• Housing/Shelter
• Food/Clothing
• Employment

Take Action!

There are several steps you can take while still incarcerated to prepare yourself for a smoother transition:
• Take advantage of educational, treatment, and transitional programs you qualify for.
• Attend any transition fairs that are offered.
• Create a resume for employment
• Apply for a social security card, (you need one to work!)     
• Get your birth certificate.
• Resolve DWI issues and plan for transportation.

CMNRP is here to help you successfully integrate into the community and live a crime free life.
