along with members of the Franklin Together Reentry Coalition were present to receive
the proclamation. Ms. Shreve thanked the Commissioners for providing the
proclamation and mentioned how important it is to celebrate the initiatives related to
reentry. Chairman Keller asked Ms. Shreve to highlight successes or challenges the
Coalition has experienced. Ms. Shreve explained that the task forces are doing well,
reentry simulation is successful, and they are working toward educating employers in
order to increase the number who hire persons reentering the community. Dan Hoover,
Chief Probation Officer, said that when they started this reentry initiative last year it was
great to see so many different department heads and outside entities come together. He
said that people leaving the jail are faced with a myriad of obstacles so anything the
Coalition can do to alleviate any of the obstacles is a good start. He said that hopefully
moving forward they can chip away at them and have the best outcomes possible.
