OUR PURPOSE
In collaboration with Professor Demetrius Semien, staff, and students at Spring Hill College, we created this project site to provide resources for organizations that work with persons previously incarcerated to provide a new start. Projects include the experiential learning activities that are part of the sociology coursework, as well as service opportunities organized for students as part of the Ignatian mission and identity of our Jesuit and Catholic College. For example, projects include students running the re-entry simulation for leaders in the community and developing a Google Map of service providers for persons exiting the prison system in conjunction with the U.S. Attorney's Office in the City of Mobile and 60+ service providers. Our goal is to help reduce recidivism in Mobile County.
This site is the result of an ongoing project and will continue to be updated with new materials periodically.
