TTMES NEWSLETTER WEEK 2 VOLUME 2
TTMES (Ossining, NY, 2019) was established to bring awareness to the aftercare struggles of incarcerated youth of color due to the lack of available resources and guidance for them upon release. We want our youth to be equipped with tools that will allow them to make better decisions, and do the required work to be productive citizens.
TTMES will work tirelessly to reduce the recidivism rate of incarcerated and detention youth of color once they are released from the system; to provide them with adequate aftercare services to support their re-entry into their communities
The TakeTripsMES Process.

Youth of color do not end up in the justice system because they are inherently criminal, despite what society or the media may want us to believe. They end up in the system due to personal circumstances out of their control that lead them to take certain actions, or because of a systemic-based lack of resources designated to help them. A source of support, love, and guidance, someone who can guide us, can greatly help to mitigate this.
Unfortunately, we are not all lucky enough to have this person or source in our lives, but that does not mean all is lost.
Through mentorship, we can equip our youth of color with the necessary tools to redirect the trajectory of their lives and offer them much-needed support and guidance. This is especially important in the context of reducing the recidivism rate. Upon release, individuals often find themselves lost and without any direction. They are unprepared for re-entry, which is a significant reason why they may re-commit. Mentoring serves to remove this barrier.

The reentry population has gained importance in recent years in discussions of social and criminal justice policy. The difficulties faced by those who are released from jail or other forms of incarceration and reintegrate into society are becoming more widely acknowledged.
Reentry populations often encounter significant obstacles, such as difficulty finding stable housing, securing gainful employment, and accessing essential services like healthcare and mental health support. These challenges contribute to the high rates of recidivism, where individuals return to the criminal justice system after their release.
