Prisons, nonprofits coach juvenile lifers to rejoin society

Paulette Carrington, a participant in Uplift Solutions’ job training program for former inmates, smiles as she speaks during a graduation ceremony from the program in Philadelphia, Monday, Oct. 16, 2017. Carrington, 56, is one of three former lifers who recently completed the program run by a nonprofit started by the owner of a local supermarket chain. After six weeks of training, she began work as a cashier at one of the stores. She’s been living in a room provided by a host family, and hopes the paycheck will allow her to get her own place.
