The Fortune Society has personnel immediately available to help meet your media needs. If you are writing or planning any stories on prisoner reentry, criminal justice legislation and policy on the City, State and Federal level, barriers to employment, job training, education, drug treatment programs, census counting, voting rights, sex offender registries or any other related topic, please contact Colleen Roche of Linden, Alschuler and Kaplan, Inc. at 212-575-4545.

For more than forty years, The Fortune Society has been developing model programs that help formerly incarcerated men and women successfully reenter their communities.  The Fortune Society offers a holistic and integrated “one-stop-shopping” model of service provision. Among the services offered are supportive housing, career development, job retention, substance abuse treatment, alternatives to incarceration, HIV/AIDS services, education, family services, and drop-in services, as well as ongoing access to aftercare.

The Fortune Society’s David Rothenberg Center for Public Policy (DRCPP) is another important media resource.  It coordinates the organization’s policy development, advocacy, technical assistance, training, and community education efforts.  DRCPP also promotes needed programs and services for men and women with criminal justice histories and works to change punitive laws and social policies that create barriers to successful reentry on the City and State level.
