Beauty after the bars

Tia state’s the beginning of successful reentry is to be honest about your past & move forward. She also states reentry starts day one of the incarceration.

Successful reentry programs give individuals like Tia  opportunities to support themselves through legitimate and productive work, reducing recidivism and improving public safety.

American prisons and jails holds over 2 million people at any given time. Preparation for the return of the people requires an entire community support.

For Tia, the anxiety, and frustration of not being able to land & keep  a full-time job once she was released from Federal Prison -was a major concern but not her only concern. She also did not have the money to buy the business wardrobe that would be needed to satisfy her employer.

Tia always looked polished and received compliments for her style & the way she dressed, every-time she walked into her work place.

With Tia's closest she is able to help women get dressed for work and professional events. To support  our Dress for Success also known as Tia's closest. Please contact us by email support@beautyafterthebars.com

Thank you.
