Challenge

​

The reality of the criminal justice system in the United States involves more than two million people currently behind bars, one in 100 residents imprisoned, and one in 31 citizens in parole or probation.

 

Recidivism affects around forty percent of recently released people.

​

The process of re-entry, is a hugely complex, overwhelming, and an anxiety inducing process for re-entering individuals.
