Who We are

Formerly Inc

Formerly Inc was created to assist Returning Citizens and their families with the community reintegration process. Our goal is to teach people how to get out and stay out of prison. All of our staff members are trained to use their lived experience as a tool to facilitate workshops and community forums that help individuals reenter their communities and family lives. We know the reentry process can be a very overwhelming situation for recently released individuals. No matter how brief the time of incarceration, the trauma for everyone involved is real. In our work, we offer  life skills education, mentoring, relapse prevention, parenting classes, and our Re-Citizenship Support Groups. Our support groups are designed for those individuals who have been recently released from incarceration or have had some  past involvement with the criminal justice system and are in need of community support. Most returning citizens could benefit from the life lessons from people whom have themselves experienced successful reentry.

A Focus on Results

Each month approximately 2,000 individuals return to Connecticut communities from jails and prisons throughout the state. Many of these individuals face the same problems leaving jail or prison as they did upon entering, including poverty, unemployment, unstable housing or homelessness, mental illness and/or substance abuse and addiction. It is known that such difficulties may contribute to involvement in the criminal justice system and disconnect to families and communities. If addressed, however, the likelihood that a released person will re-offend can be reduced.
