What is Re-Entry?
"Begin with what is essential, then move on to what is achievable, and before you know it, you'll be accomplishing the unimaginable."
Re-entry involves a collaborative effort among government and private agencies, businesses, individuals, non-profit organizations, and community/faith-based groups. The goal is to combine a range of services for justice-involved individuals, aiming to decrease recidivism and victimization.
