The Wellness, Redemption, &
Rehabilitation Program (WRRP), Inc. does not support the persecution of formerly
incarcerated people. Rather, we believe that we should not wait for people
(youth or adults) to justify returning to incarceration when we can mitigate
that and in turn reduce the amount of people that become victims of crime. We
are a bridge between the status quo optimists and the clients' transformation. We
transform lives and in turn positively impact the families that love those
lives.
Hear from a few of our
clients.
WRRP is an incorporated public charity (a 501c3) that provides
case management,
psychoeducational
therapies, trust building skills, transformational
mentoring,
assistance with attaining housing, education and employment, and retention
services to formerly incarcerated people. Whether we counsel people (youth or
adults) who have
been convicted of violent crime or whether we counsel people who have been
convicted of property crime,
the goal of WRRP is to make Nevada a safer place one client at a time.
WRRP provides to
ex-offenders, to include military veterans who have been formerly incarcerated, the
intangible and founding belief they deserve non-condemnation no matter the
circumstance in which they find themselves. Our founding belief and the broad
offender population we serve maintains to be our niche which is one of
several things that marks WRRP extraordinary to many other organizations.
Although we believe the intensity and duration of aftercare should not be fixed,
but depend on the risks and needs of formerly incarcerated people, our life-skills
training/assistance increases ex-offender accountability and employability as we
seek to help ease for law enforcement officers the burden of
heavy caseloads.
Employ a WRRP participant
"For veterans who have been incarcerated . . . a good job goes a
long way to aid in rehabilitation," said Secretary of Labor
Hilda L. Solis. Generally, a lack of employment has been found to be one of the leading
causes of recidivism. Being a WRRP employer means that you are
open to giving people who want to change the second chance they
need to succeed. For more information about hiring a WRRP
participant contact Cornell Horn at
(702) 385-9097 or via email at
director@wrrp.org.
Become a Mentor
The most important way you can volunteer is to become a life
coach for an adult (military veteran or otherwise) returning
from prison. Mentors provide advice, compassion, and
understanding through non-judgmental and forgiving eyes. For
more information about becoming a WRRP mentor
