WRRP, Inc

Our adult offenders receive tough love support from a network that consists of offenders that have completed parole, transformed into a productive member of society, and have remained crime free for a significant number of years. We know that by providing mentoring and stressing redemption as an integrity are important ethics toward interpersonal, practical, and social survival skills. WRRP believes that in our expression of care and concern for others helps the transformational supportive group project succeed.
