Review for Correctional Association of New York, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

After returning home from prison The Correctional Association of New York welcomed me and let me know that I mattered. Entering the Re-Connect program affored me the opportunity to be heard and to actually see real results. I have developed lifelong relationships with this orgainzation who are always available to assist with ANY situation one can encounter during re-entry or post re-entry. This is about the realist and HONEST Non-Profit that is sincere in its mission and never waivers or flip flops. The holistic approach and the sincerity in which this organization goes about its work is never changes. They are all the Real Deal. I transitoned years ago and I am still in-touch with my CA family. As a clinician who has worked at a few organization the CA is one of the ONLY agencies that is REAL

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

include in-reach not to observe prisons but to conduct trainings on navigating life on the outside prior to leaving prison. Everyone was not as fortunate as I was to engage with the CA.
