WPA is a good example of the services that people need when they return home. The public needs to understand that people for the most part do come home after serving their time. If they don't have health and support services, housing, employment opportunities, they have a very poor chance of staying OUT of prison. The State needs to do a better job on re-entry: use money from prison closures for community based services, not more prisons.
