Re-Entry
Virtually every person incarcerated in a jail in this country--and approximately 97 percent of those incarcerated in prisons--will eventually be released. According to recent estimates, nearly 650,000 people were released from prison in 2004, while over 7 million different individuals were released from jails across the US.
Re-entry is the process of transition that these individuals, who are predominantly male and disproportionately nonwhite, make from prison or jail to the community.
People with mental illness are significantly over-represented in the criminal justice system. These individuals have special needs and require unique services while incarcerated and during the re-entry process; transition planning is a major issue for them. Source: Re-Entry Policy Council
