Partners
The Maine Reentry Network's primary direct benefit to Maine's communities and the formerly incarcerated is direct Peer Support informed by our own lived experiences. It is our Partners who enhance our mission by providing practical assistance, services, and support to both our own fellowship as well as other segments of Maine's population.
Rose's Room
Rose’s Room is a monthly support group for family and loved ones of incarcerated individuals. Rose’s Room motto is, “Individuals don’t go to prison, whole families go to prison.” These meetings act as a support to loved ones and the person inside of corrections. Formerly incarcerated, community support groups, faith-based organizations, and loved ones share the Rose’s Room space, providing insight and hope that can only come from someone who has been incarcerated and/or helps those when they are released.

Recovery Residences
The Maine Association of Recovery Residences (MARR) has developed certification criteria to ensure that people in recovery can experience housing situations that will support their recovery. Many incarcerated individuals are also individuals in recovery (albeit a recovery enforced by facilities that ban substances from entering), and their initial release period is a time of heightened danger of relapse.
