68.8.33.7: Prisoner Rehabilitation & Reentry

Rehabilitate criminals and institute proven prisoner reentry systems to reduce recidivism and future victimization.

Other Information:

While getting criminals off the street is essential, more attention must be paid to the process of restoring those individuals to the community. Prisons should do more than punish; they should attempt to rehabilitate and institute proven prisoner reentry systems to reduce recidivism and future victimization. We endorse State and local initiatives that are trying new approaches, often called accountability courts.
