Reimagining Justice Through Community Support

The carceral system, as we know it, is not designed to support the rehabilitation of system-involved individuals. It is a costly system, costing taxpayers millions of dollars, and ultimately continues the cycle of incarceration for those who most need support. At The Fortune Society, our Alternatives to Incarceration (ATI) program directly interrupts this cycle by addressing the overlapping needs of system-impacted people. Fortune’s Deputy CEO, Rob DeLeon, and Director of the ATI program, Alex Mitchell, spoke with Founder, David Rothenberg, about the value of investing in community-based programs. Support the showThe Reentry Reality Check is made possible by The Fortune Society and Blustone Studios. Hosted by David RothenbergEngineering and producing by John RunowiczEditing by Kendall ShepardIntro song, "Water for My Journey," by Greg Doughty Outro song, "Gimme One More Chance," by Richard Hoehler
