\nProgram Descripti on
\nRecidivism- people going back to jail or prison after being released - is an intractable problem in our criminal justice system.  \; The Criminal Justice Reform Acts of 2018 included many policy chan ges intended to address this issue and reduce recidivism\, including incre asing access to treatment\, decriminalizing certain conduct\, increasing r estorative justice approaches\, focusing on evidence-based practices\, and improving data collection are among them. \; \;
\nAnother way to attack the problem of recidivism is to support people returning fro m jail and prison with the resources they need to get on the right track.& nbsp\; Chapter 122 of the Acts of 2022\, the General Appropriations Act\, created the Ralph Gants Reentry Services Program at Community Justice Supp ort Centers so that\, across the Commonwealth\, every person returning to the community has a place to go for help with a State ID\, housing\, educa tion\, employment\, or anything else that is a barrier to successful reint egration. This is one way that criminal justice reform in Massachusetts ha s culminated in increased resources.
\nWhile increased resources af ter release are necessary\, successful reentry does not begin at the end o f a prison sentence. \; In fact\, understanding the myriad needs of in dividuals at the time of sentencing is critical to planning for rehabilita tion rather than merely managing a crisis from one institution to another.  \;
\nThis program will provide a voice to those previously inc arcerated - informing practitioners about the challenges of returning to t he community after being incarcerated. \; It will also describe resour ces available in the House of Correction and through the Community Justice Support Centers to support successful reentry and to emphasize how reentr y can be shaped before a person is sentenced to a period of incarceration.  \;  \;
