Attending a RISE In-Prison Event In support of Your loved One
Please read this IMPORTANT information guide entirely prior to attending the upcoming event.
Your loved one is excited to see you!
They have worked hard during the RISE In-Prison Program which consists of a curriculum based on character development, job readiness and entrepreneurship and are ready to graduate!
Important things to note upon your arrival:
Please read, sign, and submit the Attendee Release and Waiver of Liability Agreement here.
Upon entering the facility, you will be greeted by RISE staff member, Chantal Wentz. She will guide you through the check-in process.
