RECHARGE Beyond The Bars

ABOUT RECHARGE THE GAME RECHARGE Beyond the Bars Re-entry Game is an interactive card deck of 360 thoughtful, pre-designed questions and interactions which provide an opportunity for formerly incarcerated people to reflect on their lives and many aspects of their incarceration experience with one another, and with their family members and friends in a safe and fun way while they bond and grow in understanding, connection and empathy. This communication “game” has had significant impact on those who have utilized it, and has been enthusiastically embraced by even the most resistant people. Formerly incarcerated people who had been non-communicative for years found themselves effortlessly opening up and have been reported to have been communicative ever since participating in this game. RECHARGE Beyond the Bars workshops have been conducted at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, The Metropolitan Detention Center, The Riverside Church Prison Ministry, The Riverside Coming Home Program, Arches Edenwald and others with great success. This game is proving to be a great aide in helping incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people to transform their lives through transformative reflection, sharing of experiences, connection with others and meaningful dialogue. ABOUT BEYOND THE BARS At Beyond the Bars, LLC, we appreciate the unique stresses and experiences formerly incarcerated people have been through and trust that Recharge will bring comfort, peace, connection, and healing
