MEMPHIS, TN – The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Memphis is teaming up with Lifeline to Success, a local non-profit organization, to support their reentry initiatives and provide resources for released felons in the community.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office, led by U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant, has been working with Lifeline to Success and its Executive Director DeAndre D. Brown, Sr. to provide services and support for reentrants, promoting successful reintegration into society, employment opportunities, and a chance to lead law-abiding lives.
For the fourth year, Lifeline to Success is partnering with Men’s Wearhouse to sponsor and promote a suit donation drive, which aims to provide suits for individuals who may need appropriate attire for job interviews, social settings, and other opportunities after release from custody.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office is encouraging support for this program and has participated by donating several suits to the drive. Additionally, the office has encouraged partners in the Federal Reentry Council, consisting of representatives from the Federal Public Defender’s Office, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Probation Office, and U.S. Pre-trial Services Office, to participate and donate to the suit drive.
“The mission of the Department of Justice is to reduce crime by using all available strategies and resources. One of the best ways to reduce recidivism is to provide meaningful support and resources to offenders upon release so that they will have the best chance of successful reentry into the community,” said U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant.
Today, the U.S. Attorney’s Office invited Pastor DeAndre Brown and his Lifeline to Success team members to collect the donated suits, highlight the program, and challenge other professional offices across Memphis and Shelby County to support and donate to this worthy cause.
