Success after incarceration is not just attributed to the person returning but is a result of the village that one has. This correlates with the African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” That same village is needed for a formerly incarcerated person to be successful. The village includes the person’s family, community, employer, place of faith, and support groups. This provides a tight knit group of people who are speaking life into this individual, whereas the streets would speak harm into their life.
