Resonance staff members work with women during incarceration and continue to guide and support them as they build a new life outside of prison walls. Incarcerated women face many barriers upon release. Saddled with a felony record, many find difficulty securing employment and housing. They also have little money, no transportation, and often have problems stemming from substance abuse and addiction.
Resonance provides on-site services in all female correctional facilities in the state of Oklahoma; post release services are offered through Resonance’s main office in Tulsa and satellite office in Oklahoma City.
