A presentation on the SOAR (Step Out Approved & Renewed) Prisoner Reentry program currently being carried out in several Arizona Prisons by Prison Fellowship Arizona

1. A Ministry Framework for Prisoner Transition ™

6. “ Mass influx in inner city communities of returning parolees can breakdown the cohesion in socially disorganized communities… Moral authority is increasingly vested in “street smart” young men for whom drugs and crime are a way of life. Attitudes, behaviors and lessons learned in prison are transmitted to free society… as family caretakers and role models disappear or decline in influence and as unemployment and poverty become more persistent, the community, particularly its children, become more vulnerable to a variety of social ills, including crime, drugs, family disorganization, generalized demoralization, and unemployment” - Elijah Anderson, (Charles and William L. Day Distinguished Professor of the Social Sciences , Yale University)
