Money, Money, Money
• Dysfunctional use of money related to drug addiction
• Using $1000-$1500/day of cocaine does little to aid understanding of budgeting and money management
• Distortion of the value of money• Long term planning is not a part of the
life of an addict or person with a “prison” spirit
![Page 28: Eaglevision Ministries, Inc. 814 North Washington Ave Lansing, Michigan 48906, .](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e365503460f94b24dc3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Getting Started in Re-entry
• Start small, incorporate as a non-profit with a simple mission
• Clothing closet, food kitchen, hygiene items
• Assistance with pre-employment steps: birth certificates, state ID’s, drivers licenses
• Counseling, parenting classes, substance abuse treatment groups
![Page 31: Eaglevision Ministries, Inc. 814 North Washington Ave Lansing, Michigan 48906, .](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e365503460f94b24dc3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

What Works?!
• Relationships change behavior• “Education” does little to change behavior• Over use of incarceration leads to more crime because
of the “breakdown of social and family bonds that guide individual away from crime, remove adults who would otherwise nurture children,
![Page 34: Eaglevision Ministries, Inc. 814 North Washington Ave Lansing, Michigan 48906, .](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e365503460f94b24dc3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What Works Continued
• Deprive communities of income, reduce future income potential and engender a deep resentment toward the legal system”
• Lower crime rates are linked to increases in the local police force, decreases in unemployment, higher wages, & higher graduation rates

What Works Continued
• 10% increase in graduation rates results in a 9.4% reduction in the index crime rate and a 5-10% reduction in arrest rates through the increased wages associated with graduation
• Individual-level empowerment!• Family-level empowerment!• Community-level transformation!
