Creating a Powerful Impact
on People’s Lives
The Way Back provides comprehensive, wrap-around services to address the immediate needs of individuals newly released from incarceration and help them build paths to a more secure future. Our unique approach to the journey of transformation is reducing recidivism, generational incarceration, and poverty in our communities.
Here are just a few of the remarkable people we’ve helped along the way.
