Volunteers of America of Indiana has announced a new learning tool that the agency helped create to provide insight into the challenges former inmates face upon reentry. The project was developed in collaboration with WFYI Public Broadcasting and John P. Craine House, an alternative sentencing program for nonviolent women. "Checkpoints and Challenges" provides role-playing situations that newly free inmates face. It's designed for use by re-entry programs, correctional systems, congregations with prison ministries and secondary and higher educational programs. PEN Products, a division of the Indiana Department of Correction, produced the game using offender labor at the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility. - Healing Families Video
