PURPOSE Manasseh’s ultimate goal is to change the mindset of inmates and ex-offenders so that they buy into the mainstream philosophy of holding a regular job and preferring the no criminal life. While job placements, support services, and follow-up help form the foundation of Manasseh’s efforts to achieve this goal, it is the program’s innovative features—use of volunteers, peer group instructional approach, work release center and in jail school operations, and reunite families and end the revolving door of recidivism—that contribute most to Manasseh’s achievements. These components provide a knowledge base for other jurisdictions wanting to replicate a comprehensive education and employment services program |
