correctional 7.2

 Reentry is a new focus of contemporary corrections. Elected officials are continuously looking for new ways to help prisoners with their reentry back into communities. The Second Chance Act, which authorized over $300 million for prisoner programs, was designed to help protect public safety and reduce recidivism rates. Explain the risk factors associated with prisoners returning to their communities. What program would you implement to help prisoners towards being successful with reentering their society? Would the program be the same for men and women? Be specific; you may discuss an internal or external program.
