Does anyone know of person who might be able to assist in developing a database of prisoner re-entry resources that can be developed initially for Pennsylvania and then potentially expanded nationwide? We are interested in a potential volunteer to develop such a program at the start. Perhaps a retired IT specialist looking for volunteer opportunities.
Hi Thomas,
I can help you, but I have limited time. What kind of commitment are you looking for?

You can also reach the “Georgia Tech OMSCS Social Good” community on google+. I’m sure you can find volunteers in there. https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/112812259832378074777
Thank you, Uvernes. I will pass along this link to my neighbor who is working on this problem with the Department of Corrections here. He is Rich Jacobs ( [email protected] ). Ultimately a nationwide network of links is needed, available to released prisoners, and for companies and agencies committed to successful reentry into society. The initial step would be developing or expanding what is a available locally to a wider region. Much of what is available may be outdated or limited in scope.
