- A New Way of Life’s Founder and Director 苏珊·伯顿 is herself a formerly incarcerated woman who understands the challenges people face leaving prison. After more than 20 years cycling in and out of the criminal justice system, she saw that women coming home from prison faced tremendous institutional barriers: rules, 法律, policies and attitudes that operated to deny them access to employment, 学生贷款, permanent housing, public assistance and many other services. Challenging such obstacles in isolation would be a futile exercise. Susan came to understand that real change could only happen through a powerful, grassroots community organizing effort, one that could amass enough political power to bring an end to discriminatory practices, and shift public attitudes in a way that would break the cycle of mass incarceration…and A New Way of Life Re-Entry Project was born.
