More about the film: Most people have heard that the United States is the most incarcerated country in the world, but often overlooked is the particular impact incarceration has on women.
TRI has been partnering behind the scenes to create a full-length documentary about the cycle of trauma and incarceration, looking specifically at how this impacts women, families, and communities. At our event we will watch a 'short' version of the work-in-progress and offer a talk back with the film director, impacted women, and community leaders working with and within the department of corrections.

The Reentry Initiative provides comprehensive services inside and outside of prison walls that empower adults to achieve fulfilling and crime-free lives in our community.
TRI’s original program worked specifically with women inside the Denver Women's Correctional Facility in a pre-release program, called TRIumph. Developing relationships while still on the ‘inside’ has proven to assist with the transition when released. While covid has interrupted our ability to enter the prison, we still maintain gender-specific wrap-around case services, to both men and women, addressing trauma and addiction, while helping to find housing, education, and employment.
TRI supports our friends' reentry into our community. When you support TRI, you are creating a community where everyone is empowered to have a fulfilling and crime-free life.
