Site History

The Turning Point Bridge opened its doors as a private Work Release Facility in 2005. Currently, the facility houses up to 206 offenders who are within 14 months of their release date and have earned the privilege of being able to work in the community. Turning Point Bridge located in Pompano Beach off Atlantic Boulevard and Dixie Highway, offers Outpatient and Aftercare Substance Abuse counseling for those offenders with dependency issues. Clinical, Operational and Chaplaincy staff works together, cohesively to provide care and services to offenders to assist in their smooth transition from incarceration to society.
