CareSource Re-Entry ProgramTM

Getting back on your feet after being jailed or in prison can be a challenge. You may not have the support you need to get back on your feet. It can be hard to find safe housing, food, and health care. You may also face mental health issues or struggle with substance use.

Nearly one in three people will return to prison within three years of release without proper support. We work with the Indiana Department of Corrections to help you get back to daily life if you were jailed or in prison.

We have Community Justice Liaisons (CJLs) to help support you if you need it. CJLs can help you:

  • Go over your medical and mental health needs
  • Find resources in your area
  • Help you set future goals

Our CJLs want to make sure that you have the health care you need when released. You can also get help finding a job or going back to school by working with a Life Coach through CareSource Life Services.

Expungement

Expungement means to erase a past criminal offense from a person’s record. We will cover the cost of expungement up to $500 if you are eligible. You must:

  • Not have pending charges in any state
  • Pay all fines, fees, court costs and restitution (CareSource will help cover these costs with this fund)
  • Wait the required time since the offense or conviction
  • Be part of the CareSource Re-Entry Program or CareSource JobConnectTM through CareSource Life Services®
  • Get a letter of approval from the prosecutor’s office
