Posted by VACAP Archives at 11:03 AM Member News
On Friday December 5, the Brookings Institution held a policy discussion on the challenges of prisoner re-entry. Senator Jim Webb gave the keynote address.
Professor Bruce Western of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government Project presented a discussion paper at the conference. Western envisions a national prisoner reentry program that would combine transitional employment, housing and substance abuse treatment with in-prison education and post-release parole reform.
