Evers and PLAN provide 500 books to re-entry program

   August 4, 2016

State Sen. Greg Evers (District 2) partnered with the Panhandle Library Access Network (PLAN) to provide more than 500 books to the Santa Rosa Correctional Institution’s re-entry program. The books were donated by libraries throughout the Florida Panhandle and were selected to support the educational needs of inmates working on their high-school equivalency diplomas.

Inmates have extremely limited access to resources to assist with their transitioning and return to the outside community. The donated books include encyclopedias, dictionaries, textbooks, and subject-specific books to improve reading and learning skills.

“There is a real need to improve inmates’ chances of successfully re-entering society, finding jobs, and establishing a better life. Books like these are a big step in supporting that transition.”

Santa Rosa Correctional Institution is located in Milton, and houses adult male inmates.
