| Purpose : |
Elsipogtog Reintegration Project is designed to stop the cycle of offending from being passed from generation to generation and will help support the family as a whole. Beginning while the offender is incarcerated and continuing after release from an institution, the process will develop a supportive community environment. The process will build upon the progress that was made in healing while the offender was incarcerated, building healthier relationships between the offender, their families and the community. This project is intended to address the needs of both offenders and families, and is designed to stop the revolving door syndrome of offense-release-reoffense that has so often characterized Aboriginal offenders. The project is also designed to support a non-offending lifestyle. |
