The Maine Coastal Regional Reentry Center (MCRRC) in Belfast, Maine is a residential center designed to give incarcerated men the skills and experience they need to live successfully as they transition into their home communities. Each week, the men are provided with over 40 hours of treatment and educational and vocational opportunities focused upon reducing recidivism. Our evidence-based programming provides men with opportunities to practice newly acquired living skills.
The Reentry Center is designed to provide security while also offering an environment to facilitate the transitional process necessary for long-term success once men have left the program. Your future success is our mission – these are the first words seen as the men enter the program. Success is a partnership between the staff and residents with the clear goal of addressing issues that have impacted success in the past.
Our Program partners include the Waldo County Sheriff’s Office, Maine Department of Corrections, and the Restorative Justice Project. For more information about reentry and post-release programs in Knox and Waldo County, email Program Manager Kim Hartley at kimberly.hartley@voanne.org.
