Government and Community Affairs

Alternative Directions, Inc. (ADI), a Baltimore-based statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1979, helps men and women in prison and those leav­ing prison become independent, responsible citizens. ADI provides civil legal pro-se services to those in prison and comprehensive case management to those returning to their communities. ADI also educates the public and policymakers about the bar­riers former prisoners face when reentering society. ADI’s Hand in Hand program works to reduce recidivism among juvenile offenders, mental health counseling, individual mentoring, and academic services within the Baltimore City Detention Center.
