In a recent visit to a Michigan county jail, a nonprofit organization called Taylor Made Re-entry shed light on the challenges faced by incarcerated individuals and provided support to help them overcome their struggles. Founded by Dee Dee Taylor, who personally experienced the impact of incarceration on her family, the organization is dedicated to bringing mental health resources to those in need. With the support of Percy Glover, who understands the mental health challenges faced by inmates, Taylor Made Re-entry is working with the Justice Department to provide mental health support to women in the Genesee County Jail.
The visit highlighted the importance of addressing mental health issues among inmates and providing them with the support they need to navigate these challenges. Many women in the jail have faced difficult circumstances that led to their incarceration, and Taylor Made Re-entry is committed to helping them improve their mental health and well-being. Through personal experiences of incarceration and loss, Taylor and Glover collaborate to bring the right resources to help inmates set themselves on a path towards healing and recovery.
Dee Dee Taylor’s personal journey and commitment to helping others serves as a source of inspiration for those struggling with mental health issues in the criminal justice system. With organizations like Taylor Made Re-entry working tirelessly to provide support and resources, there is hope for those who have been impacted by incarceration and its effects on mental health.
