Reentry is not the end of a sentence—it’s the start of a new chapter.
We support agencies and organizations in designing and implementing evidence-based, trauma-informed, and equity-focused reentry services that align with justice, humanity, and sustainability.
Why Reentry Matters
- For the Justice-Impacted Individual:
Stable housing, employment, and access to mental health services significantly reduce the likelihood of reoffending and support long-term dignity and autonomy. - For the Criminal Justice System:
Effective reentry lowers correctional costs, eases prison overcrowding, and affirms the rehabilitative purpose of incarceration. - For Public Safety:
A structured, compassionate reentry process reduces recidivism, thereby lowering community victimization and enhancing trust in justice systems.
Why a Holistic Approach Works
- Holistic reentry addresses the whole person—trauma, housing, employment, family reunification, addiction, and emotional regulation. It’s not just about compliance; it’s about transformation.
- Systems Integration: We foster cross-sector collaboration (courts, social services, employers, and faith communities) to ensure continuity of care.
Data-Driven Impact
- The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) reported in 2005 that 8% of released individuals were rearrested within 3 years.
- Recent data from 2021 shows significant improvement in states that implemented holistic reentry strategies, with some programs reducing recidivism by 25-40% within the same time frame.
- Meta-analyses show that reentry programs that include cognitive behavioral therapy, job placement, and community mentorship result in a 43% lower recidivism rate compared to supervision-only models.
