People who have been incarcerated face unique obstacles to successful community reintegration upon release from prison. These barriers to re-entry often exacerbate existing mental health and substance abuse problems and can increase the likelihood of recidivism. Mainstream re-entry programs do not adequately address the needs of Muscogee citizens who have been incarcerated. The Muscogee (Creek) Nation wanted to develop a program that could assist its citizens with reintegrating into life on the reservation after serving time in prison.
