From Jails to Jobs: Community Re-Entry and
the Criminal Justice System
What is being done to ensure that at-risk youth do not end up in the prison
system? Who is helping people reintegrate back into society upon release? With
over 2 million people in US prisons, this is a national crisis. How can we deal with
this crisis in our own community and beyond? Join us for a presentation and
conversation with Fr. Greg Boyle, SJ and other local leaders on these critical issues.
Father Gregory Boyle, SJ, was born in Los Angeles and is one of eight children. He
entered the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in 1972 and was ordained a priest in 1984.
Father Greg is the author of the New York Times Bestselling book, “Tattoos on
the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion.” He is the founder of Homeboy /
Homegirl Industries in Los Angeles. He has received numerous honorary degrees,
awards and recognitions for both his writing and his work with at-risk youth.
