Cost Effectiveness
While housing someone in a state prison can cost over $45,000 annually, Ready4Work costs $4,500 per participant, per year.
Most prisoners in the United States will eventually be released. The issue is how to institute community reentry programs so these individuals don’t go back to prison. One way being researched is through mentoring programs to enhance employment opportunities. This manual, based on work through the Ready4Work program and first issued through the U.S. Department of Labor, outlines the process for establishing, implementing and sustaining a workable mentoring program that supports former prisoner to community reentry services.
Ready4Work addresses the needs of the growing ex-prisoner population through community- and faith-based organizations.
