IDOC ONE STOP REENTRY CENTER - A HELPING HAND JUST WHEN YOU NEED IT

On the closed-circuit (call out) channel at the ISCC there is a slide promoting the IDOC One Stop Reentry Center. Since the public cannot see this channel, the information is being provided here.

While I have no direct knowledge of what goes on there (thus, cannot really vouch for it), it seems that the Center is designed to assist recently released IDOC prisoners - possibly even those prisoners who were released some time ago. There are no hours of operation listed on the slide, so maybe a phone call to the Center might be in order if you're planning on popping in. If you or your loved one needs some help, just ask - you might be surprised.

The information on the slide states that Center can help with the following:

> Food Assistance
> Hygiene items
> Computer/Internet Access
> Housing Referrals
> Employment Assistance
> Resume Assistance
> Connecting with a Mentor
> Substance Use Treatment and Support Group Referrals
> Connecting with the Department of Labor
> Financial Training
> Mental Health Services
> Health and Wellness Services
> Phone and Bus Pass Referrals
> Assisting with Set Up
> Health and Welfare Benefits

> And More...
