Reentry Stories - The Break Off and HIRE
When movement becomes medicine and discipline becomes a lifeline, second chances follow. Sam Hale turned incarceration into a turning point and he’s helping others rebuild their lives through strength and accountability.

🤝OC Cares is the County of Orange’s coordinated system of care that helps justice-involved individuals reenter the community with stability, support, and real opportunities. Through OC Cares, local partners are transforming lives:
The Break Off empowers justice-impacted adults and youth, veterans, and individuals recovering from addiction through “Movement is Medicine” and building community through fitness.
HIRE has supported more than 3,425 residents through workforce development, job placement, financial education, mental-health and substance-use support, case management, and peer mentorship.
Together with Project Kinship, HIRE, The Break Off, and multiple community partners, this network of care is made possible through OC Cares.📍Learn more at ocgov.com/oc-cares.
