Summary
National Reentry Week highlights the United States' mass incarceration crisis and urges federal action to support people leaving prison with housing, education, job training, and mental health services to reduce recidivism.
Show full summary
- Formerly incarcerated people: Calls for increased access to halfway homes, education while incarcerated, higher education grants after release, occupational training, and mental health care to help stabilize reentry and lower repeat offending.
- Families and communities: Frames reentry investments as a way to improve public safety and community stability by addressing barriers to housing, employment, and credit.
- Federal agencies: Directs the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Prisons to coordinate reentry events, efforts, and learning opportunities at their facilities.
- Policymakers and funders: Urges Congress to invest in evidence-based policies and community-driven programs that fund housing, job training, and mental health services for people reentering society.
*The resolution recognizes large incarceration costs and the need for investment in reentry, and it urges coordination and funding without specifying new federal spending.*
