Reentry Policy Council

The Reentry Policy Council is a group that focuses on improving the transition of individuals from incarceration back into society. Its goal is to reduce recidivism, or the likelihood of former prisoners reoffending, by addressing the challenges they face after release, such as finding employment, housing, and accessing healthcare. The council offers recommendations to policymakers and advocates for reforms that support successful reintegration, recognizing that helping these individuals succeed benefits both them and the broader community. Through collaboration, research, and advocacy, the council aims to create safer communities and promote second chances.
