| Summary |
Reexamining Reentry analyzes current trends in prisoner reentry programs while focusing on the populations those programs are meant to serve. The focus on empowerment strategies in this book suggests that by providing formerly incarcerated populations with instruction or programming designed to build and redirect their social identity in a positive way, the reintegration process has a better chance of being successful for the former prisoner and for society overall |
