Following is a description of the vocational programs that NLF hopes to initiate for the prisoners. These are programs selected to sustain and benefit the inmates after their release from prison. In most cases, the ability to acquire and maintain employment is a key ingredient to success upon release from prison. That’s why learning a viable trade is so vital to the NLF.The offenders will learn an in-demand skill, which empowers them to one day become qualified employees, or even self-employed proprietors of their own businesses.
Being able to support themselves helps keep former inmates on the path of a law-abiding life. Being employed instills a sense of purpose and self-esteem. Becoming proficient in a craft bodes well for the respect they may receive in the community.
