In Alabama, about a third of inmates return to jail within six or seven months of being released. During his campaign for office, Jefferson County Sheriff Mark Pettway said he wanted to do something about those numbers and he has.
Shortly after becoming sheriff three years ago, Pettway launched the Renewed for Reentry Program, an initiative aimed at making Jefferson County jail inmates employable upon release.
“Recidivism here is at a high rate, and we want to stop those inmates from repeating offenses and coming back to the county jail,” said Pettway.

The Madison County recidivism rate hovers around 85% a rate that’s been higher than the state average yet the city, county and much of the surrounding region don’t have re-entry programs for West Tennesseans coming home from imprisonment.
Many formerly incarcerated men and women come home with more trauma and problems but no support system, resources, programs or ways to reacclimate into society as working individuals.
So, the cycle continues: unable to work or deal with trauma, they commit crimes again.
Now, West Tennesseans who’ve been incarcerated will get a second chance through educational and career opportunities for the second phase of their lives because of the Phase II Adult Re-entry Program, a 12-month program that opened in Jackson in late April
