I have been a Prison Fellowship mentor for 12 years. I have found a resource database run by the United Way that covers Minnesota at www.211unitedway.org (http://www.211unitedway.org/) This database provides a listing of organizations that provide all kinds of help for the inmate, family and mentors like myself. Some of this information is provided to the inmates before release, but this is more inclusive and available to anyone.

I see a big need for this type of resource database for the entire country. Does anyone have other similar databases?

Hi!
Even though I am not in Minnesota that is nice of you to post information that can help inmates and their loved ones. Thanks for reaching out and sharing with us!

Check out this list I compiled, of many things. I have Employment links there. It is in the NY forum but it is not only for NY...lots of links there.
