Indiana Prison Focuses on Re-Entry
Join Together reports on a prison in Indiana dedicated to inmate re-entry into society. The program, which began in January, has already grown from 17 to 179 and shows promise. The program includes an on-site DMV to issue IDs (shown to be a factor in recidivism rates), post-release job programming, and credential programs in many different areas. The prison is believed to be the first dedicated entirely to re-entry.
