“A lot of individuals say, ‘We didn’t realize this is what they go through.’”
Once it begins, the participants have four “weeks” — 15-minute intervals — to meet the requirements of their parole while also juggling the basic needs of surviving. This includes obtaining a state ID, finding employment and procuring housing — all while dealing with unexpected situations such as medical care and probationary slip-ups.
JJ Harrier participated on behalf of his employer, Alaska Addiction Rehabilitation Services. His character was named Sean who recently served a three-year sentence for burglary. He walked out of incarceration with $20. “It’s been an eye-opening experience,” Harrier said. “Just the hoops that people who are trying to, you know, get back out into the community have to go through to get their life back on track. It’s pretty astounding.”If they failed to meet a certain level of criteria, the “probation officer” would send them back to “jail” where they would receive a 5-minute delayed start for the next week or have to pay the “judge” a fine.
The probation officer was played by Brian Galloway, a reentry case coordinator, who said many of the participants had no idea how hard reentering actually is. “A lot of individuals say, ‘We didn’t realize this is what they go through,’” Galloway said. “It is pretty similar, no matter where you go, when reentry is concerned. Whether that’s a lack of transportation, or treatment or services.”
