Once on their own, many of the previously incarcerated struggle with fresh challenges. Through Dallas Leadership Foundation's pre- and post-entry program, DLF mentors and assists men as they transition from prison to their home communities.
James Reed oversees the Church Prison Collaborative (CPC), one of DLF's signature initiatives. CPC operates the faith-based dorm program at Hutchins State Jail where the incarcerated benefit from an array of classes and support.

After release, CPC continues to stand with the men. Through the Onesimus House, CPC offers a transitional facility where former offenders start again after prison.
Previous offenders are housed monthly in an East Dallas facility owned by DLF. They're provided with many services, including food, clothing, bus passes, and assistance in getting driver's licenses and birth certificates. They also have access to recovery support groups, church services, job assistance, spiritual counseling, and mentoring.

At every stage of their reentry to society, CPC encourages previous offenders to allow Jesus Christ to reconstruct their lives. At every point, they're urged to become leaders who demonstrate an amazingly transformed life.
