A Closed Englewood School Could Become A Resource Center For Formerly Incarcerated Neighbors – Block Club Chicago

Organizers want to revive the school as the Regenerator, a 60,000-square-foot facility with resources and programs for people leaving the prison system: multifamily housing, a community center, job training and medical services for formerly incarcerated people and their families.

Up until recently they were, but now the term is sanitized to either formerly incarcerated or, and this one is particularly stupid, ‘returning citizens.’

BTW: this isn’t an attack on ex-cons, they did their time and need a hand to assimilate into society. The abduction of language is my beef.

Stupid chickens.
