Second Chance Act National Adult and Juvenile Offender Reentry Resource Center
The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub.
L.
110-199) reflects a comprehensive response to the increasing number of people who are released from prison and jail and returning to communities.
There are currently 2. 3 million people serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through local jails every year.
Ninety-five percent of all prisoners incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities.
The Second Chance Act will help ensure the transition people make from prison or jail to the community is safe and successful.
Section 101 of the Act, in addition to providing grants to state and local governments and federally recognized Indian tribes that may be used for demonstration reentry projects, also allows for the establishment of a National Adult and Juvenile Offender Reentry Resource Center.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
