TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) - The Florida Department of Corrections has rolled out a new program designed to help convicted felons who've served their sentences re-enter society.
The program is called Spectrum and it allows people who go to prison to make a plan to keep them from ending up in prison again. Spectrum evaluates the offender in 7 areas and lets them know what areas to improve upon.
After that, the program puts together a plan for re-entry into society and provides information like where to go for jobs, education, and mental health treatment. The program gives felons access to a wealth of resources to help lessen the likelihood of re-offending.
FDC said they have planned to deploy Spectrum statewide.
