Better Neighbors turns lived experience into a reentry curriculum

Field notes

The project structures reentry around four practical intervals: 72 hours, 30 days, six months, and one year. Its flagship Art Inside Out began as a twelve-lesson program created by Kirk Charlton while incarcerated at Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution, and the broader curriculum is described as fourteen lessons. The homepage also includes exercises contrasting scams with real offers and examining what someone has versus what things cost.
