When Andre Peart left New York state Bare Hill Correctional Facility in 2018, he didn't have anywhere to go.
He had no apartment or job. He was no longer together with his long-term girlfriend. He didn't know who to contact or even how. Having spent almost six years incarcerated, he missed most of the technology updates that shaped the world he was stepping into.
The open gates didn't offer much freedom -- at 23 years old, he walked out of his sentence with $40 in gate money and a bus ticket, which couldn't get him very far.
