Reentry Realities
Freedom on paper and freedom in practice are two different things. This is the ground-level view of rebuilding a life — housing, work, paperwork, and the small bureaucracies that decide how quickly you’re allowed to belong again. Reported from inside the experience, not from above it.

Day One
A phone-first reentry simulator: live the first ninety days after release — an ID, housing, work — one weekly turn at a time. Built by a returning citizen, so the barriers are remembered, not imagined.
