This grant, offered by the BJA under the Second Chance Act of 2007, is for the purpose of aiding the successful reentry of adult offenders with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders into communities. Recognizing that 95% of incarcerated individuals will return, this initiative promotes public safety by reducing recidivism. It encourages communities to develop comprehensive, collaborative strategies to address the unique challenges these offenders face. Reentry is an evidence-based process, starting at incarceration and continuing until successful community reintegration. The program involves delivering diverse evidence-based services in both pre- and post-release settings, ensuring a safe and successful transition from correctional facilities to a law-abiding life in the community.

| Description: | The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.3 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of all offenders incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The Second Chance Act helps to ensure that the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to the community is successful and promotes public safety. The Second Chance Act Programs are designed to help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by offender reentry and recidivism reduction. Reentry is not a specific program, but rather an evidence-based process that starts when an offender is initially incarcerated and ends when the offender has been successfully reintegrated in his or her community as a law-abiding citizen. The reentry process includes the delivery of a variety of evidence-based program services for every program participant in both a pre- and post-release setting designed to ensure that the transition from prison or jail to the community is safe and successful. |
