Compassion In Action is working in partnership with the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services and the Self-Betterment Groups in various state correctional facilities. Self-Betterment Groups are run by long term and life sentence servicers who are not coming out anytime soon. However, they still serve a purpose that benefits their life while serving their sentence and also can benefit the community they once offended in the following ways:
- They have the advantage of inside contact
- They can utilize community information to prepare residents prior to their release
- they can partner with community agencies to assist with reentry preparation
- they provide information from within the confines of prison walls that is beneficial for public safety.
- they can assist the community in the process of transforming former criminals of society into 'champions' for the good of the cause, when they are released from prison.
