130 Alexandria Inmates Met with Resources and Opportunities Preparing for Community Reentry
Reentry Resource Fair Brought Together 28 Community Partners
ALEXANDRIA, VA – In conjunction with Second Chance Month, the Alexandria Sheriff’s Office hosted its annual Reentry Resource Fair on April 15 at the Adult Detention Center. The Inmate Services team organized the fair to connect more than 130 inmates with opportunities and resources that can facilitate their successful reintegration into the community.
With emphasis on the importance of reentry planning, the fair brought together 28 community partners offering valuable services and support in key areas such as health, education, job training, employment assistance, and peer support networks. Inmates met with exhibitors, gathering information and learning more about programs and opportunities that can pave the way for a positive and productive future.
This event underscores Sheriff Sean Casey’s commitment to fostering successful reentry and reducing recidivism by equipping individuals with the tools and connections they need to thrive upon their return. The Sheriff’s Office supports initiatives that empower returning citizens to build brighter futures and contribute to the community.
