Maryland Correctional Enterprises ‘ C.A.R.E.S. Program

Maryland Correctional Enterprises (MCE) mission is to provide structured employment and training activities for offenders to improve employability upon release, enhance safety and security, reduce prison idleness, produce quality, sellable goods and services, and be a financially self-supporting state agency. MCE Continuing Allocation of Re-Entry Services (CARES) is a reintegration program for inmates nearing release. MCE CARES believes in a holistic approach for its graduates. The mission of this program is to “reduce the recidivism of participants by 20% when compared to the recidivism rate of the MCE release population.” Inmate reintegration is important to keep the communities safe and secure as inmates are released back into society. The transition from jail or prison into the community can be challenging not only for the offenders but also for their families. Thus, MCE created CARES to partner with you during your transition process. The six-month CARES program provides the tools, resources and support needed to work towards your professional goals post-release.
