WHAT WE DO

EZRI addresses the needs and eases the difficult transition of incarcerated individuals as they return to the community, providing support for a self-directed plan and a safe space where empowerment can be nurtured and realized, and families can be reunited, as the endless criminal justice cycle of crime > conviction > incarceration > reentry is interrupted.

OUR MISSON

EZRI’s mission is to reduce recidivism among justice-impacted individuals, thereby creating safer communities and stronger families. We provide comprehensive counseling and case management services to those previously incarcerated, men and women being released from jail or prison in Miami-Dade County.

We recognize that gaps in services exist, and through our collaboration with community partners, we aim to minimize those gaps by providing the necessary support and advocacy required so that each person can achieve their goals and improve their overall quality of life. EZRI delivers second chances!

Recidivism

Collaboration
