Check out this editorial from today's Akron Beacon Journal by Laura Ofobike. Very insightful.

I am a former released inmate, and I keep hearing about the re-entry initiative. But I have fail to see any support on re-entry. I have been out for more than two (2) years, I plea not guilty to my offense, and I was found guilty anyway. Upon my release I did find gainful employment, never missed or been late. But I am threaten with return to prison unless I say that I commit this offense. I work, obey all laws do everything that I am ask. I have a sanction hearing to determing if I should be return to prison. How does re-entry help me when I am trying to do right. Do I have to commit a crime just to get someone to listen or help me.
