Jurisdictions release hundreds of thousands of offenders from jails and prisons each year. The successful transition of offenders back into the community--without reoffending--is critical to community safety. A wide range of efforts are underway to prepare and support offenders for a successful return to their communities. In some jurisdictions, efforts are systemwide, led by corrections agencies, but involving other public agencies and community stakeholders in system change efforts. Other efforts are more limited in scope and may focus on specific offender groups or geographic locations.

NIC has two active reentry projects:

  1. The Transition from Jail to Community Initiative (TJC)

  2. The Transition from Prison to Community Initiative (TPC)
