360° Beyond the Bars


A part of S.M.I.L.E. INC’s mission is reforming recidivism rates by restoring foundational values, whole health, and life skills through education, financial literacy, and career development. S.M.I.L.E. INC provides mentors and individual case managers for each individual released. The mentors and case managers are with

the ex-offenders 30 – 60 days prior to release from incarceration and two years post programming. Each individual will do an assessment:


☛ Needs-assessment
☛ Criminogenic needs-assessment
☛Individual motivator assessment


S.M.I.L.E. INC. operates on three levels that are designed for re-entry programming. The re-entry program at S.M.I.L.E. is called, “360° BEYOND THE BARS”. “360° BEYOND THE BARS” is designed to prepare inmates prior to release how to accept the accountability for their mistakes and actions, how to rebuild their character within themselves and in the community, how to become a leader for their family and peers, and job placement.


   The second level is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is an ongoing process throughout life, but at S.M.I.L.E. INC., CBT is an intensive three-month beginning session aimed to change negative old habits and replace them with positive new habits.


The third and final level is the SEMPH (Spiritual Health, Emotional Health, Mental Health, and Physical Health) services which are comprised of integrated strategies and innovative interventions which overall goal is to lower recidivism rates in the underserved communities of Milwaukee.


S.M.I.L.E. IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS FOR A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE!
