Reentry is a process by which ex-offenders are provided with legal advice and some kind of
advocacy on how to survive in society by overcoming discrimination at work places on the basis
of their legal troubles with the law. The reentry project operates in partnership with community
based groups to assist people with criminal backgrounds to correct their mistakes and be
productive citizens in their communities. The reentry project helps individuals with criminal
backgrounds to find jobs or training programs in the area they intend to parole out to.
According to the journal, this theory was conducted by doing a survey on recidivism outcomes of
357 reentry criminals who had been released from jail into the community during a multiyear
study period. All of the 357 participants studied were released for at least one full year, making
it possible to examine recidivism behaviors by levels of reentry program exposure at similar
points in time (Severson, Veech, Bruns, & Lee, 2012). The purpose of this study is to find out
“Who goes back to prison?” Relevant research has been adequately reviewed. Having …show more content…
The recipients of special education is recorded as a special category of
achievement and the database reflected the assignment of participants only to one single category
of achievement (Severson, Veech, Bruns, & Lee, 2012).
The findings of this study have a significant bearing on what is considered recidivism. The
findings suggest the provisions and delivery of pre and post release services is a difficult task.
The results can be used by corrections professionals and self-providers to improve service
delivery. The authors intent that services would be provided so that immediate outcomes, such
as employment, education, and housing would be improved and consequently, the ultimate
recidivism outcomes would also improve. This is where the reintegration programs breakdown.
Maintaining consistent employment is an assumption to reducing recidivism. Although
maintaining employment is important, it alone does not reduce recidivism. Recidivism reduction
remains an elusive target. It is not a one size fits all approach. Further research is needed
