About Interaction Transition
Interaction
Transition (I/T) is a private non-profit agency in Seattle,
Washington dedicated to assisting ex-offenders in the re-entry process.
Interaction Transition provides support to ex-offenders as they transition from prison
or jail to
the community and assistance in meeting critical basic
needs such as housing, employment, and social support.
Interaction Transition's mission
and programs are guided by the principle that community involvement
with returning offenders increases public safety. Involvement consists
of offering practical support and guidance as well as intervening
when risks appear. Every offender who successfully returns to society
without reoffending enriches the community and reduces public fear.
Interaction Transition is committed to serving the community in this endeavor.
Interaction Transition works in cooperation with local
law enforcement, corrections, social service, community agencies,
and citizens to offer ex-offenders returning to society critical
support in the reentry process with the goal of enhanced public
safety. We also seek opportunities to contribute to prisoner reentry
efforts within our Central Area neighborhood.
Interaction Transition recognizes that:
-
Crime results in harm to victims and the community.
-
Offenders must take positive action to repair the harm caused by their crimes
and to make amends to victims and the community by becoming
productive citizens and refraining from criminal behavior.
-
The criminal justice system cannot adequately facilitate the ex-offender reentry
process in isolation from other community stakeholders.
