Relink.org has been a long-time partner with The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections and relink.org is on the tablets of all prisoners in the state of Ohio, and is being used by thousands every year to help develop a meaningful and effective recovery plan.  We are currently rolling out relink.org on jail tablets throughout Ohio counties and are currently active in 11 Ohio counties and would love to get on more county tablets.
