Reentry Programs

Reentry programs are initiatives designed to help individuals transition back into society after being incarcerated. They provide support such as job training, education, mental health services, and housing assistance to reduce recidivism— the tendency to re-offend. These programs aim to equip former inmates with the skills and resources necessary for a successful and productive life outside of prison, ultimately benefiting both the individuals and the community by promoting safer environments and reducing the costs associated with repeat incarceration.
