3 Monday Morning Highlights Page 3 Reentry Programs FCI Elkton reentry presentation On April 17, 2013, FCI Elkton hosted a Reentry Program for inmates releasing to the Northern District of Ohio within the next 12 months. Participants included representatives from the U. S. Probation Office (USPO), Psychology Care Counseling, and two ex-offenders who are being supervised by the USPO. Pat Sweeney, FCI Elkton's Reentry Coordinator, spoke about the importance of preparing for release by maintaining clear conduct, following institutional program recommendations, resolving all pending warrants and traffic matters, and obtaining personal identification. The two ex-offenders spoke to the inmates about understanding the obstacles they will encounter including: securing and maintaining employment, living a drug and crime-free lifestyle, and living in the community as a productive, law abiding citizen. The program received positive feedback from all participants.
