Breaking the Cycle:
Transforming Reentry for Stronger Communities
Reentry 2030 is a national movement driving meaningful reforms in how we support individuals returning to their communities after incarceration. By addressing barriers to employment, education, and housing, we aim to break the cycles of recidivism, homelessness, and hospitalization.
