Life after Lockup: Improving Reentry from Jail to the Community
Life after Lockup: Improving Reentry from Jail to the Community
This report, funded by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance, is the first national resource focusing on the transition from jail to the community, a process that confronts more than nine million people each year. The monograph presents an overview of U.S. jails and their populations and how reentry from jail differs from state and federal prison reentry, highlights 42 local reentry programs throughout the country, identifies concrete reentry steps, and explores probation’s role in the process. Life After Lockup was jointly written with The Urban Institute and the Montgomery County (Maryland) Department of Correction and Rehabilitation.
