Thank you Jenni!
The idea for that came to me during one of the UNODC HIV Testing and Counseling sessions for the prison staff. They reported the difficulties HIV+ inmates face after being released in accessing treatment services because of a number of reasons, primarily including discrimination and affordability concerns. By having a venture that supports ex-convicts by linking them up with healthcare services, landlords and employers, they can have some ease settling back into their lives. There would also be a need for regular meetings to check their progress. Simply offering this help to ex-convicts would give them a chance to improve their lives. Without such resources, even those who want to turn away from crime might have to resort to it as a means of survival.

Thank you for your wonderful presentation. Like Cathy McConnell, I am very interested in your long term goal of working with convicts. Great work!
