Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark hosted a resource
fair at Community Board 12 in Wakefield for those re-entering society after
spending time in prison.
Local organizers and politicians were on hand to let the
former inmates know that there is a dependable support system in place.
"When folks come home, they needed an array of
services. Education, employment, housing, family services, mental health
services – so the various organizations that you see here today, they offer
these services," said Felix Gonzalez, the Bronx County Taskforce coordinator.
The event also provided opportunities for COVID-19 testing,
as well as vaccinations against the virus.
