Financial education and services for the incarcerated
What and Why
Our IAD and Community Safety and Justice Programs, in partnership with the National Trust for the Development of African America Men, are developing a pilot Financial Education and Services program for the Reception Center at San Quentin State Prison and Santa Rite Jail. As part of pre-release planning, inmates will receive benefits screening, financial education, and a financial action plan for their release. The partnership is also pursuing ways to connect inmates and those formerly incarcerated with low-cost, consumer friendly financial products.
