Warren County Regional Jail hosts program for veteran inmates

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Warren County Regional Jail is working with veteran organizations to cut down obstacles for incarcerated veterans.

These programs aim to improve veterans’ access to healthcare, housing, education and disability assistance upon release to reduce recidivism.

Volunteers from the local Veterans of Foreign War post go into the county jail once a month, switching off each time among the jail’s four sections to provide veterans with information on a variety of resources available to them and allow them to get a head start on the documentation process so they can access them when they’re released.
