Reentry Begins at Arrest
" The only way to end recidivism is to prepare people for release well before they come home. It's going to take families, community, and employers to help end recidivism in the US."
Marcus Bullock
CEO & Founder of Flikshop Inc.
Let's create stronger, safer, and more equitable communities​
​
​
The Flikshop Neighborhood provides community organizations and second chance employers the ability to connect their resources and programs to the incarcerated people that need them.
​
Create mailing campaigns to ship your newsletters, surveys, major announcements, and sign-up forms to incarcerated people within a few clicks.
THE PROBLEM
Support shouldn't start the day someone comes home.
The reentry system is fragmented. Directories go out of date. Nonprofits, employers, and educators work in silos. Families carry the weight alone, and people return home without a coordinated path forward.
Every day of disconnection is a day of lost opportunity for the individual, the family, and the community waiting for them.
67%
of returning citizens lack coordinated reentry support

REENTRY STARTS BEFORE RELEASE
Connection is the difference between survival and a beginning.
​
When a person inside knows someone is waiting with a plan, the entire trajectory of reentry changes. Families feel less alone. Organizations build relationships, not transactions. Outcomes shift for everyone.
• Pre-release communication reduces isolation and recidivism.
• Verified organizations meet families where they already are.
• Dignity, trust, and consent are built into every interaction.
