Description

Incarceration has become a vicious cycle that is difficult to break. Incarceration not only affects the individual who is imprisoned, but also their families and communities. Breaking the cycle of incarceration requires a multifaceted approach that addresses the root causes of negative behavior and provides support and resources to those who have been impacted by the justice system. By taking a comprehensive approach to breaking the cycle of incarceration, we can create a more just and equitable society for all.
