AGENDA
People in the state prison system are provided many opportunities for improving education and job skills during their incarceration. Taking advantage of those opportunities leads to second chances.
For Samuel Hutchins and Arkeem Shields, their second chances came with the assistance of the Pathway Home 5 Program – part of the Opportunities Industrialization Center in Rocky Mount.
The most important item a person needs when leaving prison is some form of identification. It can be a state-issued ID or a driver license, both of which are required for just about every task imaginable, including opening a bank account, securing housing, and getting a job.
