JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – It’s a blessing for those who come through the Wendy Hatcher Transitional Home.
“It’s like a family. I was able to get up and cook and serve breakfast,” said Emma Holmes who is a convicted felon.
At 65 and after leaving the home, Holmes is still focused on doing better and not returning to her old life, even though money is tight.
“I refuse to sell drugs. I refuse to go back to prison.”
Pauline Rogers, founder of the Wendy Hatcher Transitional Home, said it’s baby steps getting back into the world from being incarcerated. While Holmes stayed at the home for a year, Rogers said people can stay indefinitely.
