What Is Offender Re-Entry?
"The use of programs targeted at promoting the effective reintegration of offenders back to the communities upon release from prison and jail.

Client Holiday Fair
Thanks to a generous gift from CHIP, PACE, in partnership with Marion County Community Corrections, hosted a “Connecting Families Holiday Fair”. The Fair held in December was attended by 49 families consisting of 121 children! Clients and their families were provided a variety of educational and informative resources in addition to hands-on fun activities. Clients and their children made holiday ornaments; participated in an interactive puppet show about bullying and learned how to make healthy food. To end the event Santa came to visit the children and gave them all a Christmas present.
We would like to thank all those that help provide for a great event: Marion County Community Corrections, CHIP, Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic, Fairbanks, Indianapolis Public Library, Patient Assistance, Ivy Tech Community College, Marion County Health Department, Damien Center, IU Health, and Picture This.

It’s All About Believing in Yourself!
At 52 and having suffered an addiction to illegal drugs for 10 years, Mrs. Jackson was enrolled into Indiana Access to Recovery (INATR) in the summer of 2011. After a recent arrest, Mrs. Jackson realized it was time for a change; and knowing she would not be able to achieve the change she wanted without support she decided to ask for help and reach out. That is how she found PACE.
Having become an active PACE client, Mrs. Jackson quickly began to show progress in her recovery from addiction and after only two months of direct work with her case manager she was ready to start her job search. Her case manager referred her to Dress for Success to secure interview clothing. Mrs. Jackson was called for an interview at a retail clothing store and quickly contacted her case manager for interview tips. On the day of the interview, she called her case manager to build more confidence before entering her interview and a few hours later, she called in to share in the great news: she had been offered a job as a cashier! The PACE case managers asked Mrs. Jackson if she had the proper clothes to start her job and issued her Goodwill vouchers to make sure she was ready to start her new job on the right foot.
Mrs. Jackson is currently employed full time at the same retail store and has successfully graduated from INATR. She has made great progress and she continues coming to PACE for additional support in her recovery and is glad to take part in a program lead by a team that believes in her and what she is capable of doing.
