Life Card

The activity is designed to simulate a month in the life of an individual recently released from prison as they navigate the challenges associated with their supervised release. Each week will be represented by a 15-minute session, allowing participants to engage with and understand the complexities of reintegrating into society while adhering to all mandated requirements.

Stations

Each participant is allocated 15 minutes to engage with a series of designated stations, including Probation Officer, Employment, Treatment, Bank, and Clinic. At each station, participants will draw a card that offers feedback on their progress. For instance, at the Probation Officer station, an individual may be required to undergo a drug test; the outcome—pass or fail—will be revealed by turning over the respective card. A positive test will send them back to court, and the risk of going to jail.
