The First 72+
Calvin Duncan, Co-Founder and President of the Board of Directors of the First 72+, leaving prison in 2011.
Learning to re-adjust to life outside prison walls is a process and the First 72+ works to stop the cycle of incarceration by creating pathways to independence and self-sustainability. This organization is focused on practical help-- providing transitional housing, re-entry programs, and a supportive community for people coming out of prison.
Residential and non-residential clients of the First 72+ are referred by the Parole Board, local attorneys, legal organizations, state and federal courts, and direct inquiries from currently incarcerated people and people recently released.
During the first three days the First 72+ supports clients with a ride home from prison, clothes, food, rides to social services offices to get state identification, social security cards, enrollment in public benefits, visits with parole/probation, and healthcare.
