I'm almost certain that she was given resources and support for the first few years of her release.
Article mentioned she had a mentor and she did motivational speeches.
On one hand I'm thinking "What else are they supposed to do for her?" They got her out and partnered her with some people who seemingly had her best interest at heart.
On the other hand I just keep thinking how this girl has been institutionalized since she was picked up off the streets. All she's ever known is the streets.
