Mississippi

After being released from prison Cynetra struggled to get her feet back on the ground. She had lost her home and all her valuables and she really needed help. Unfortunately probation services were not enough.

She wanted others in the same situation to have more support - so she founded the Mississippi Center for Re entry.

She now serves several counties in northern Mississippi offering support for people being released from prison. Listen to Cynetra talk about which challenges people face after incarceration, how she and her organization help to reduce recidivism rates and what her biggest challenge is.
