CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) -In an effort to decrease the recidivism rate in Charlottesville and Albemarle County, a new program is coming to the regional jail.
The REAL (Rehabilitation, Empowerment and Advancement for Liberation) Re-entry Program is the brainchild of Bryan Page, a man who has spent decades of his life behind bars.
Page says the program will help current inmates with 90 days or less left on their sentence learn a variety of skills.
