Offender Pre-Release Training

TAF participates in offender pre-release training (PRT) when requested and available. Pre-release training is a must for offenders who have been locked up for extensive amounts of time. PRT help returning citizens prepare for their return to their communities. Returning citizens depending on how long they have been incarcerated return to communities that have undergone drastic changes. Not only does the community change but people change, people die and now the person who has had everything given to them for the last ten years must now provide for themselves! Will they be ready?
