TRANSITION TO A BETTER LIFE

Helping You Reenter Society
Through Effective Programs

NEW WAY MISSISSIPPI, INC. is a nonprofit organization that offers transitional housing programs and other resources for formerly incarcerated citizens. Since 1998, we have been assisting various individuals who want to stay out of prison and lead better lives.

Mission And Vision

Our goal is to empower individuals and families by providing services like restoration and preventive programs so they can successfully reenter society. We also offer resources for victims of negative social and economic issues while improving the community—one family at a time.

What We Do

Our team believes that most crimes committed in society are often caused by alcohol and drug abuse. For this reason, our organization tries to provide a means of recovery for formerly incarcerated individuals and those suffering from addiction.

Who We Are

We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization recognized by the state laws of Mississippi and the IRS. Although our team focuses on minority families and youth, we also reach out to other individuals regardless of race, sex, religion, age, and nationality.

About Our President

Larry D. Perry has been working with different urban communities in Jackson, Mississippi for more than 17 years. He has participated in various outreach ministries that focus on drug rehabilitation and rescue mission programs.

Our Story

While working with different individuals and families, Larry was able to confirm his suspicion that there isn’t a comprehensive and effective plan to address issues on alcohol and drug abuse. Fortunately, New Way Mississippi, Inc. has teamed up with various agencies to empower and support individuals who want to break free from their addiction and avoid any form of dependency.

TESTIMONIALS

Jerri England

“I am a Kentucky native. I am 39 years old and have 2 children. I went to prison thinking I had to do everything on my own. I was angry with God and blamed him for my going to prison. I blamed God for “placing me behind those fences”. During the time I was in prison I started reading the Bible and thinking about my life. I was regretful for everything I had done wrong. It felt as if my lies stayed in my subconscious mind. I conversed with other people (Christians) who had already repented and were living Christian lives.... that’s when I realized that the Lord was knocking on the door of my heart. He was asking me to come to him. When I entered the transitional program at New Way and started attending regular Sunday services I immediately understood where I belonged in this world. I am so grateful to New Way for their Christian foundation which provided me the support I needed to get on the right path with God. It was the Lord who orchestrated my destiny to New Way and for that I am truly grateful. THANK YOU New Way for granting me this second Chapter in my life!!!”

“New Way Mississippi Transitional Program has been a tremendous blessing to me. I was incarcerated for 20 years and because of the services offered by New Way I was able to reduce my time in prison by 10 years. I was so happy when I found out that my application had been accepted by New Way. The staff is dedicated to helping those who just need a helping hand. They are very kind and considerate. The programs consist of family reunification, employment training, and life skills training. When I entered the program I was at a very low place in my life. Once I started working with the staff at New Way my self-esteem increased immensely and I now have hope for a new life...a better life than I had before incarceration. I’ve been given a second chance and I owe this opportunity to New Way Mississippi. THANK YOU New Way Mississippi for allowing me to be part of such a rewarding and vital program!!!”
