Reentry


​Hope Bags

Interfaith Prison Ministry for Women provides reentry bags to every woman released from the Raleigh Unit so that they can focus on rebuilding their lives in the days and weeks immediately following incarceration.  Filled with toiletries, gift cards to a discount department store and restaurant, a homemade quilt and more, these bags also include information about area resources and services to help secure employment, housing, transportation, mental health treatment, addiction and recovery services.
