Each participant will complete a comprehensive needs assessment resulting in their individualized reentry plan. 

This plan will be based on three main components:

  • Transitional and reentry services to support basic needs.
  • Education, financial literacy, and skill-building services.
  • Career exploration and planning services, employability skills preparation, internships, and permanent employment.

Reentry programs generally focus on ensuring the successful transition into life outside of prison in specific areas such as education, employment, housing, substance abuse, and mental health. In 2021 the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction reported a 32.69% recidivism rate over a three-year period for all individuals released from Ohio prisons, including technical violations. 

The overarching goal of reentry programs is to combat recidivism by offering a range of support services designed to ensure individuals can reintegrate into society successfully.
