520 _a"For years, all anyone called them was 'inmate' or 'offender.' But on this night, the three men were special guests at a most unlikely event: a reception to honor their return to society....One by one, representatives of area churches, charities, neighborhood groups and employment agencies rose to address the men--who all served time on gun or drug offenses--in the basement of Memorial Hall, offering help finding a job or making connections in the community. Midway through the meeting, the speakers at the podium were replaced by police, prosecutors and correctional officers with a distinctly different message: Take advantage of the help these people are offering or suffer the consequences if you return to a life of crime." (WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL) This article provides an overview of Wisconsin's "Racine Area Project, that combines police, correctional officials and neighborhood residents to help offenders on probation and parole succeed instead of just punishing them when they fail."
