20 Years Inside, Helping Others Return Home: An Interview with Jacquin Webb

Join us for our Embraced:Fully Monthly Interview Series on Thursday, July 2, 2026 at 6:00 PM (Pacific) on Zoom. Everyone is welcome!

Our special guest will be Jacquin Webb, founder and executive director of Reconnect 180 in Carson City, Nevada. Jacquin brings both lived experience and practical program leadership to one of the hardest questions in reentry: what actually helps someone come home with direction, support, and a real chance to rebuild?

About Our Guest: Jacquin Webb

After 20 years of incarceration, Jacquin came home into a world that felt unfamiliar and overwhelming. Basic questions – where to get a meal, how to apply for a driver’s license, how to use transportation, where to start – became immediate barriers. That experience shaped his commitment to make sure other people returning from incarceration do not have to face the same confusion and isolation alone.

Over the past five years, Jacquin has focused his work on helping people navigate reentry with dignity, clarity, and support. Through Reconnect 180, he helps connect returning citizens with resources, guidance, and community so they can rebuild their lives with purpose and hope.

About Reconnect 180

Reconnect 180 is a Carson City-based nonprofit working to transform the reintegration process for formerly incarcerated people. Its 90/90 focus serves people in the final 90 days of their sentence and the first 90 days after release, when preparation, practical help, and steady support can make a decisive difference.

The organization addresses critical needs such as identification, employment, housing, transportation, medical care, life skills, and community support before and after release. Its work is grounded in a simple but urgent conviction: people coming home need more than encouragement; they need real tools, real relationships, and a clear path forward.

In This Interview We’ll Explore:

What reentry really feels like in the first days home – not as an abstract idea, but in the practical details that can overwhelm someone immediately after release.

Why the 90 days before and after release matter so much – and how Reconnect 180 works to make that transition less chaotic and more supported.

How lived experience can become leadership – what Jacquin’s own journey taught him about accountability, preparation, and hope.

The barriers that most often derail people – including identification, housing, transportation, employment, and isolation.

What churches, volunteers, and Angel Teams can learn – how to offer meaningful support without overpromising or trying to do everything alone.

This conversation is for Angel Team members, chaplains, families, volunteers, reentry partners, and anyone who wants to understand what practical, human-centered reentry support can look like when it begins before the prison gate opens.
