Second Chance Program Graduation
At a time when most 17-year-olds are getting ready to graduate high school and venture into a great big new world of independence , Mark was facing life without parole . His world would be a cell . He would be told when to eat , sleep , exercise . For 34 years .
Released in 2020 , Mark knew if he was going to successfully transition back into the community – a world that had changed so much - he was going to need help . When COVID-related travel restrictions were finally lifted , Mark made his way from Michigan to San Diego and Second Chance . At a pivotal time in his life , Mark found safety and support at one of San Diego Second Chance ’ s sober living homes . He also received assistance with transportation , food and hygiene products .
