Re-Entry Services


Returning to the community from being incarcerated is a difficult transition for most residents, as well as for their families and communities. Upon re-entering society, former residents are likely to struggle with substance abuse, lack of education and job skills, limited housing options, and mental health issues.


West Central places an emphasis on developing contact with community resources to eliminate barriers to re-entry for residents. Most obstacles a resident will encounter upon release can be anticipated and addressed while at West Central.
