One of the hardest challenges ex-offenders have to face is finding a stable and well-paying job after their release. Many employers are reticent to hire former prisoners. A majority of ex-offenders never graduated from high school and have little legitimate work experience. The ex-offenders themselves often lack the skills to land a well-paying job and they don’t always know how to market the skills they do have when interviewing for a job.

Many ex-offenders have substance abuse or psychological problems that need to be treated before they can hold down a regular job. And many ex-offenders are missing a social support system that would help them keep a job once they have found one.

AJARG is  working on reducing recidivism in more than 10,000 individuals with criminal records. Based in Denmark, SC, we are one of the largest community-based providers of employment services that works primarily with ex-offenders.

We know that when our clients keep jobs that pay livable wages for at least a year, the three-year recidivism rate will be dramatically reduced to somewhere around 13 percent.

AJARG's, outcome-based services to ex-offenders, particularly employment acquisition and retention, will continue to have a dramatic impact in communities across the country.
