00Correctional rehabilitation & reentry
Malia Myatt
Building a career helping people coming home from incarceration.
Malia's focus is the part of the justice system that starts when a sentence ends: the first days, months and years of coming home. She wants to help people returning home find steady work, a safe place to live and a community that expects them to succeed.
01Career focus
Coming home happens in stages.
These are the stretches where the right support changes what comes next, and where Malia wants to do her work.
-
01Up to 90 days before release
Planning from the inside.
ID, benefits and a place to go, lined up before release day. In California, Medi-Cal can now start reentry services up to 90 days before someone leaves prison or jail.
-
02Release day and the first 72 hours
Getting through the first days.
A ride, a phone, food and a safe bed tonight. The first few days often decide what comes next.
-
03The first 90 days
Building a routine.
Steady work or training, stable housing, and check-ins that feel like support.
-
04Year one and beyond
Staying on solid ground.
Career growth, family, education and community, with a past that no longer decides the future.
Grounded in criminal justice.
