REINVENTING REENTRY


​More than 600,000 people in the U.S. are released from jail every year. After these Americans have served their time, they face huge barriers to rejoining society. For many, their time in prison is only the beginning of a life-long sentence. 

Those who return to their communities from prison carry the burden of shame and stigma. They leave a world of isolation and enter a world of alienation and denied opportunity. It’s time for a change. It’s time to Reinvent Reentry.

Jobs are the answer. Education is the answer. Access to housing is the answer. Getting a fair chance is the answer.
