Justice, once behind bars for years, now sits at a table with Nebraska’s governor and corrections director, sharing how a re-entry program at Metropolitan Community College helped him rebuild his life. The conversation reveals that true reintegration requires community-wide support—not just prison systems. A powerful example? Ooh De Lally, a Dundee restaurant run by formerly incarcerated people, where LaRue Marcos rose from dishwasher to director, reunited with his kids, and found housing. Yet, with 1,600 releases annually in Omaha and only 60 spots available, scaling this model is urgent. Leaders are eyeing expansion into western Nebraska and new sectors like trades and farming, aiming to turn these programs into self-sustaining lifelines—funding challenges aside, the proof is already in the kitchen.
