“Reentry is just helping people acquire the things that they need: if you need housing here is it, if you need transportation here’s an orca card, the employment we found you a job, you should be well on to your success. But reintegration is walking a person through the additional things that ultimately come as a person-resulted change in their life, right? How do you build better relationships with your family, with your community, how do you not allow anxiety or panic attacks to really overwhelm you when you find yourself in community spaces where you don’t feel like you belong, right? … So loving a person through the process, the entire process, especially in regards to the criminal justice system, its important.”
