Miami-Dade Reentry Resource Guide
F
violent crimes in South Florida led by the United States Attorney�s Office and specifically James Swain,
Executive Assistant United States Attorney/PSN Coordinator and James �J.D.� Smith, Law Enforcement
and Community Coordinator, embarked on a strategy to enhance public safety by assisting people who are
coming home from prisons and jails. To that end, one of the important objectives of PSN�s reentry
strategy is to provide organizations working with inmates, formerly incarcerated people, and their families
with a resource directory in support of successful reentry and enhanced public safety. The first edition of
the Miami-Dade Reentry Resource Guide, published in 2008, was utilized by an estimated 20,000+
individuals and based on its success we have published this 2010 guide.
Special appreciation goes out to the members of the Miami-Dade Reentry Task Force for their assistance in
identifying relevant listings and proofreading - without their participation this project would not be possible.
We would also like to express our appreciation to PSN�s fiscal agent, the Miami Coalition for a Safe and
Drug-Free Community and our program manager Naydine Fulton-Jones at the U.S. Department of Justice/
Bureau of Justice Assistance in Washington, D.C.
An extra special appreciation goes to the Florida Department of Corrections/Region IV under the leadership
of Director Marta Villacorta and the Broward Correctional Institution�s team including Warden Jennifer
Folsom, Assistant Warden Norman Jenkins, Instructor William Amos, Volunteer Liliane Rique, and the
extraordinary inmates in the Commercial Art Technology Program who designed the cover for the 2010
Miami-Dade Reentry Resource Guide.
We welcome your advice and feedback on the guide so that the next edition can be even more effective.
Furthermore, we invite you to participate in our ongoing efforts to improve the lives of formerly
incarcerated people by joining the Miami-Dade Reentry Task Force, a dynamic group of 70+ individuals and
organizations working tirelessly to improve public safety. You can make a difference in our community!
To become a member of the Miami-Dade Reentry Task Force, receive additional copies of the 2010
Miami-Dade Reentry Resource Guide, or to receive regular reentry updates, please send me your contact
information � my e-mail address is wayne@waynerawlins.com. We hope you will join our efforts.
