Turn Around Village
Description
Turn Around Village is a faith-based nonprofit facility that transitions the formerly incarcerated back into society and reduces recidivism. Their transitional facility houses up to 18 men at a time in a loving, family-like Christian environment. On the date of the prisoner's release, they often pick them up at the gate of their releasing facility. Within 48 hours of their release to Turn Around Village, they take them for a mandated visit to the probation and parole department. Once the legal requirements are met, Turn Around Village then takes them out and buys them clothes, shoes, toiletries, and any other personal items they will need to start their new life. The next step they address is medical and mental health concerns. They set them up with social workers, mental health workers, substance abuse programs, psychologists or psychiatrists and medical doctors (as needed) and get them medication if any is required – all this is at the organization's expense. Lastly, they help their men find employment. If you have any questions about this organization, please contact them directly.
