The Restore Program is structured to provide services to male and female reentrants who identify as having low to high-risk ratings on the Ohio Risk Assessment System (ORAS), have financial obligations to the county, and must satisfy victim program requirements.
Restore will teach participants how to support themselves positively while making direct amends to victims and the community.
