Each “month” consists of four 15-minute “weeks” during which participants interact with various stations that represent steps to reentry. For example, they may have to get a state identification, attend mandatory counseling, apply for food stamps, or report to their parole officer. Volunteers staff the stations representing different offices and agencies with which participants need to interact.
