reentry programs
Post-incarceration support systems
Reentry programs are services designed to help formerly incarcerated people transition back into society.
These programs typically address barriers like finding employment, securing housing, managing addiction, and reconnecting with family.
The term comes from corrections and social work: The prison partnered with local employers on reentry programs.
