While more than
half of ex-inmates in Illinois are re-incarcerated in the first year
after their release, 89% of Leslie’s Place residents never
return to prison. Their success is due in part to the programs,
services and support that Leslie's Place provides.
Programs:
* Group/individual recovery coaching
* Job placement, job referrals and interviewing techniques
* Computer training
* Parenting workshops
* Life-skills workshops
* Spiritual support/self-esteem seminars
Services:
* Refer out for assistance with state IDs and birth certificates
* Transportation cards
* Help obtaining clothing
* Help resolving child custody issues
* Assistance in finding permanent housing
* Medical services on premises
Leslie’s Place residents must work or attend school, save 70% of their
income and follow the house rules. The women work hard to become
responsible, independent and contributing members of society. They earn
their second chance.
