EX-OFFENDERS TRYING TO GET THEIR LIVES BACK ON TRACK CAN FIND A LITTLE EXTRA HELP AT THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION’S SUMMIT OF HOPE EXPOS.
SUMMIT OF HOPE FEATURES SEVERAL RESOURCES FOR THOSE RECENTLY RELEASED TO HELP EASE THEM BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY. THAT INCLUDES GETTING A STATE I-D, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE AND JOB TRAINING SAYS THE DEPARTMENT’S MARCUS KING.
WHEN AN OFFENDER GETS OUT OF PRISON, THEY OFTEN FACE SEVERAL HURDLES. THE SUMMIT OF HOPE BRINGS TOGETHER VALUABLE RESOURCES TO MAKE RE-ENTRY A LITTLE EASIER SAYS GOVERNOR BRUCE RAUNER.
THE LATEST SUMMIT OF HOPE WAS HELD IN SPRINGFIELD BUT SEVERAL ARE HELD AROUND THE STATE. THE NEXT ONE IS PLANNED FOR AUGUST 23RD IN SOUTH BARRINGTON.
