From Barriers to Bridges - A Reentry Convening

About this event

A fresh start takes more than an open door. It takes opportunity, support, and a community ready to help.

From Barriers to Bridges brings people across Mississippi together to explore how we can strengthen the transition from incarceration to community life. Hosted by MAGCOR, this event connects individuals, families, employers, service providers, and community partners through meaningful conversations, practical resources, and breakout sessions focused on successful reentry.

Explore topics including the first 72 hours after release, housing, legal barriers, fair chance hiring, peer support, and overcoming stigma. Whether you have experienced incarceration and need assistance, own a business and want to explore fair chance hiring, or are supporting a loved one through incarceration, there is something here for you.

Join us to build connections, find resources, and help turn barriers into bridges toward a stronger future.
