Kardell Simms

As a Re-Entry Consultant/Strategist, I'm passionate about helping current and formerly incarcerated individuals achieve their goals and realize their full potential. My goal is to make sure that everyone is given a fair chance to reintegrate back into society. I offer a range of services, including developing  second chance hiring programs and customized training for businesses, along with reentry programs and workshops in correctional institutions and alternative sentencing programs for the county court/jails. With over 20 plus years of experience in corrections and criminal justice I'm dedicated to providing my clients with the support, resources, and guidance they need to live successful, meaningful lives.

On The Inside - Re Entry Academy

Our Mission

To reduce recidivism by equipping incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals with the personal development tools, entrepreneurial mindset, and life skills needed to successfully reenter society — because re-entry starts on the inside of prison and self.
