TAKE ACTION-Urge Congress to support the Reentry Act
Florida Action Committee (FAC) members and affiliates, that are also members and advocates of Prison Fellowship, have asked FAC to share this ACTION REQUEST to HELP REMOVE BARRIERS TO HEALTH CARE by urging Congress to support the Re-Entry Act.
Being released from prison is an overwhelming experience. Men and women who have endured the harsh realities of incarceration are suddenly thrust back into society and must find a job, along with a place to live. But there’s one necessity that’s often overlooked in their reintegration journey: health care. Formerly incarcerated individuals can have acute needs after serving their time behind bars.
To remedy this ailment, Congress should support the Reentry Act.
With the Reentry Act, states would be allowed to restore access to healthcare to otherwise eligible incarcerated men and women 30 days before their release. This would provide individuals with immediate access to vital services such as mental health and substance abuse treatment. Without this support, the days following release can be some of the most dangerous, with significantly high risks of relapse and even death.

Not likely to happen.

You think they will eventually get him?
BWJ- one of them already did it a second time and went back to prison. Now he’s out again. The other one his buddy keeps staring at all of the underage girls and checking them out. I see it with my own eyes.
Maple
That may all be true, but there is no way to verify anything you claim. The one man may have been convicted for a second offense. It’s more likely that the reoffense was a registry issue. The statistical data supports that claim. As for the other man, how do you know what he does or even what he looks at?
How do you know they’re underage? 15 and 16 year old girls dress like they’re 21 nowadays.
No end
That’s why dont mess around, ask for drivers license before.
Exactly!
I have a question. How come you guys all smile so big in your pics that are taken when you have to go and re-register every few months? It looks like you’re so proud that you raped or molested. It’s very creepy 🤮🤮

I had a Hollywood 😃 😊 😀 smile on my mug shot
I did neither one. Are you stupid or something? I am not one of you. I am someone who has these offenders living in the neighborhood and 2 of them are buddies who reoffended and they just keep on smiling HUGE like total jack a$$es every time they renew their pics. It’s sickening.
Maple,
Be nice. You will be a better person for it.
They use drivers license information and pictures. Very rarely do they actually use mugshots.
Information posted to website about RSO/RVP is drivers license.

I see on cops show, when they get booked mugshots are taken

How does this relate
Anony- how come when I check the one guy on my street his pic is always different? It’s always new. Every few months when he goes to re-register. Always smiling like this 😁
The intent of the registry is public safety.
If you could get them to stop smiling, would the neighborhood be safer?
Just trying to figure out what the issue is with the smiling. It doesn’t sound like a safety issue.
Jacob- they will rape again because treating it like a joke
Let’s be clear here. The registry is a joke.

Stalking is a criminal act.
Bwj
Who was stalking?
He needs to move to Miracle Village place for modern day leppers.
BWJ- yes, exactly!! And one of the rapist guys stalks a lot of underage girls! He stares at them and keeps going where they are!!
It should be illegal for ANYONE to stalk underage girls, whether they’re on a list or not.
CRB- yes. Both of them got new teeth/dentures and then the one guy he thinks he looks so good and stares at underage girls. They think he is a creep, and he is!! (Raped a minor)
For Jacob
Jacob
Are you on some dort of auto-reply?Always quick with answers, go to ⛪️ church bro.
I have harmed no one.
Kurtis
I did twice
Maple,
I’m sorry, I will try to be civil, but get a life! Why should I have to look miserable for your benefit in mandatory pictures I have to have taken multiple times a year. I’m almost 20 years removed from my SINGLE offense and have a great life now. Any picture taken today is going to reflect the person I am TODAY, not what I was at my lowest moment. Don’t you get it? Maybe you never will. Just remember, the yardstick you use to measure others will be used to judge you on the day we all have to stand before the highest court. I hope you’re ready for that day.
Others behavior is about them and nothing to do with the people they deem lower than them. I suspect thats Maples M.O. Hurt people hurt others. She coming from a place of lack of self esteem and needing to troll on other people and make them fit her narrative so she can justify all the time she wastes acting like she’s being useful to society. She needs help and I hope she gets it.

Good post. Well said.
Once “they” get money from the Byrne Fund Money Machine….nothing will ever change…based on Codified Statutory Law….Nobody has the monies to change anything!
Only thing would be to Write an Executive Order….that will not happen as there are so Many People in SORNA making lots of monies. $20 Billion federal sponsored Hysteria
I was denied Medicaid in Florida and nearly died from sepsis.
Bwj
What happen.,? Did you get sepsis from dirty needles?
Grace
Actually I developed an infection from an undiagnosed medical issue. But thank you for your heartfelt concern.
You’re OK now?
Considering that the infection occurred in 2020, yes.
This is a necessity!!! I was blessed to be a veteran who was already enrolled with the VA prior to my incarceration. However, for the average person, this is a definite necessity for reintegration. I didn’t have to worry about all the jumping through the health care loops and cutting through bureaucratic red tape. I don’t say that in a gloating or boasting manner. I say that, if I had not had the VA to turn to and continue on with my health care. It would have been a huge nightmare. Continued mental health and substance abuse counseling was a huge factor in helping me stay clean/sober and out of trouble.
