The Dallas Cred team is one group trying to help people getting out of prison land jobs with competitive pay. They're doing it with the help of the city and several other organizations in Dallas
Dallas Cred is made up of people from the communities they serve, and many of them know the consequences of violence first hand.Every year, more than 600,000 people are released from prison back into society, and it’s not always easy for them to land a good job.
“By us being a violence interrupter team first of all, our whole entire job is to alleviate any disparities an individual may encounter that could cause them to want to turn to or enact violent behavior,” Mar Butler, Dallas Cred program director, said. “In order to do that, it requires building these relationships with other people who will tell us more about their story, get them to open up, and just let us know what the barriers are.
Butler said they had nearly 200 people sign up for the job fair and workshops, but they’re still collecting information about how many of them landed job opportunities after their interviews. He said Dallas has the resources to help formerly incarcerated people, but everyone’s not always on the same page.
