About Us

At Reality Check Project, we are dedicated to supporting individuals as they transition back into society after incarceration. Our comprehensive reentry program operates within both the state and county prison systems, catering to both men and women. This program is designed to equip participants with the skills and resources necessary for a successful reintegration into the community.

In addition, we offer a community-based reentry program specifically tailored for individuals who have been released from Berks County Prison within the past 365 days. This initiative focuses on developing essential soft skills, empowering returning citizens to navigate the challenges of reentry, secure stable employment, and build fulfilling lives.

Through personalized support and hands-on training, we aim to foster resilience and promote positive outcomes for those we serve. Together, we can create pathways to success and reduce recidivism, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to thrive in their new chapter.
