Paulsboro Community
Development Center's (PCDC) Ex-Offender Program is motivated by the staggering number
of young men and women who are being released from County Jails, Correctional
Institutions, Prisons, Half-Way Houses, Drug Treatment Centers and
Juvenile Detention Centers.
We are
dedicated to elevating their levels of self esteem and to aiding them
through their Re-Entry process into
society.
- Providing for the
reconnection transition of the ex-offender with their family and
community is our major focus. We are breaking the endless cycle
of release and re-incarceration by providing access to support systems
that meet their social, economic, emotional and spiritual needs.

- Men and women are
gaining the necessary tools to become self sufficient; they are setting obtainable goals
such as:
| Writing
a resume |
| Opening
a bank account |
| Establishing
visitation with their children |
| Getting
a job |
| Securing
housing |
|
.............and stretching
out and doing it! |
|
We
assist in the total needs of the "individual": meeting them at
their point of need and walking beside them through each
step......... as they develop into the Stronger, Productive,
Recommitted Citizens, we need to rebuild our communities. |
