#132 Re-entry: What Research Shows

Returning to life outside of prison: It’s called re-entry. Getting people ready to go home just makes sense if you want them to succeed, and over 95 percent of all imprisoned people are eventually released. But we didn’t always do much to assure reentry success, and in many places and many ways, we still don’t. What does the evidence show about what works? 

Our guest is Dr. Christy Visher, Professor of Sociology at the University of Delaware and Director of the University’s Center for Drug and Health Studies. She was one of the principal investigators for the path-breaking study “Returning Home: Understanding the Challenges of Prisoner Reentry.”
