Another resource, in Providence, working to assist ex-offenders in the
re-entry process.
Rhode Island's Family Life Center - resources to assist ex-offenders and
their families by providing long-term holistic case management services
starting prior to release from prison and extending up to 18 months
thereafter.

The  site features a mapping element that many across advocacy interests
have utilized to graphically illustrate communities most impacted by their
residents' comings and goings  into and out of prison.  Not surprisingly,
some groups are disproportionately represented in prison and out of
communities.  The state passed legislation last year to restore the vote to
former offenders; this kind of mapping data (as well as very energetic
efforts by advocates) played a significant part in passing the legislation
