Pinellas Ex-Offender Re-Entry Coalition

I personally have never been there but I've heard other people say that is not all it's cracked up to be at helping people who just really released from prison

In theory and plan this was a good idea. It's a nice stepping point for people to reenter Society. However, the plan is not presented clearly and not implemented as intended. There is lots of neglect on the building and the staff has lots of room for improvement. In fact some of the staff should not be anywhere close to a leadership position. They have severe people skills issues. If the management would take personal inventory and evaluate their goals and apply the efforts to reach them it will be a wonderful place. In theory it would be a great benefit to society and Pinellas County.

They don't really help felons,they just use their statistical data to secure funding. They tell me how great the program is and Im there everyday trying to take advantage of all They had to offer. I got all excited just for them to send me to Popeyes? I could have got a job there without their help. I did better on my own job search. Assistance for felons is a joke.

Picked up a friend who is staying at this hotel Continental where the Pinellas justice system has interim housing for inmates looking for a place to live. The also house male sex offenders there who cannot find a place to live. My friend gets drug testing and classes as well as help in home placement.
