Children of Incarcerated Parents
"Reentry" is not a specific program,
The reentry process includes the delivery of a variety of evidence-based services in both pre- and post-release settings designed to ensure that the transition to the community is successful, and to reduce the likelihood of recidivism.
Mentoring of formerly incarcerated individuals can be an important element of reentry strategies that achieve these goals.
