I was trying to find information on it, but it is difficult to navigate the website on my phone. I am trying to find out what a reintegration profile is, and how it differs from other profiles. Can people still find them and write to them?
Hi @Grymmwulf, I can answer that for you. I recently uploaded a reintegration profile here for a friend.
His release day is on the horizon, and he's looking to connect with people in the part of the country he intends to release to - build a network, find some friends, find employment, housing, that sort of thing. Prison doesn't prepare one for reintegration with society as well as society itself does, e.g. people like us. Sometimes a reintegration profile is a stand-alone thing, and yes, you can write to someone with that. Other times, it's a tab on their pen pal profile, as could be a tab for artwork, education, and so on, and yes, you can write to someone with all of those too.
Reintegration is such a sea change. Another friend of mine is a few months post-release now, and tells me that support and encouragement makes a huge difference - even if it's just well wishes or light years beyond that.
