Chicago Communities and Prisoner Reentry
From The Urban Institute:
"Chicago Communities and Prisoner Reentry" is part of "Returning Home: Understanding the Challenges of Prisoner Reentry," a multistate research initiative exploring ways to improve reentry outcomes for individuals, families, and communities. This report is the latest publication in the study of how former convicts in Illinois fare after prison and what types of assistance help reduce reincarceration rates. The report is based on prerelease surveys of 400 male prisoners and postrelease interviews with them six months after release; focus groups of residents in communities receiving the most ex-prisoners; and interviews with reentry service providers and state and local officials. The report discusses the community's role in the reintegration process for former prisoners, as well as the impact of prisoner reentry on the community.
