Evolution Reentry Services is the only organization in the country that helps justice-involved women and their family members with support through every phase of the legal system eliminating the fear of the unknown. Our weekly support groups allow us to get to know each woman and their family intimately so we can provide what they need to be successful. We accompany them to their sentencing, working alongside their attorney helping ease the emotional anguishes of facing prison. We often speak in their behalf at sentencing and prepare women and their family members for what prison will look and feel like while incarcerated. Due to our extensive network, we have the ability to provide a mentor inside prison waiting to help each woman navigate their first few weeks, so they are never alone. We work family members during their loved one’s incarceration and help break barriers when they return to their families and communities to help them with basic human dignity and pride.

ERS understands the need to focus on the well-being of family members who have a loved one incarcerated. We have weekly family support groups and mentors for individual family members who have been in the shoes, knowing how they feel and helping them navigate their own emotions.

We are not like every other transactional reentry organization…ERS is a family that wraps our arms around every other family in their darkest moments and holds them up while never walking away.

By pulling together all resources, organizations, and programs into one coordinated effort, ERS is re-inventing reentry with a stronger service model for those with criminal backgrounds.  Through this model, we are dedicated to helping returning citizens rebuild their lives through support with employment, education, finances, and homeownership…breaking down the stigma related to having a flawed background.
