Established in 2009 it is the mission of the Reentry and Resources work group to identify resources for people with a criminal background enhance efforts to ensure successful reentry reduce recidivism and enhance public safety This work group achieves these goals through collaborative partnerships with government agencies faith-based organizations career centers and all other stakeholders In 2015 Reentry amp Resources became a local non-profit that provides referrals for service and financial assistance to returning citizens and those who are on probation Our group also conducts activities trainings and presentations to raise awareness in our communities in hopes of decreasing the stigma associated with criminal backgrounds Our group aids in lowering the unemploy-ment rate of citizens negatively impacted by a felony background Our services improve our community by improving a returning citizenrsquos opportunities for success Reentry amp Resources is operated by volunteers from our communities
Ninety-five percent of the over 15 million incarcerated individuals in the United States will eventually be released back into the community (West amp Sabol 2009 ACA 2013) Of those approximately 65 will reoffend and return to prison within 3 years of release (BOP 2013) Communities all across the country are affected as a victim a tax-payer a family member or a community resource While offenders are released to diverse communities with differing levels of support and intrinsic motivation experience suggests that they share many of the same challenges This Reentry Simulation will illustrate the journey to self-sufficiency and the barriers that may contribute to feelings of helplessness and decreased self-efficacy Participants will assume the identity of an ex-offender and perform tasks in four 15 minute sessions with each session representing a week By the end of this workshop participants will have simulated a month in the life of someone who has released from prison Participants will encounter the same challenges faced by many ex-offenders as they try to complete their court ordered obligations as well as maintain their day to day life This simula-tion suggests that ultimately the ability to navigate ldquothe systemrdquo may be a primary factor in the relationship between resiliency and recidivism

Established in 2009 it is the mission of the Reentry and Resources work group to identify resources for people with a criminal background enhance efforts to ensure successful reentry reduce recidivism and enhance public safety This work group achieves these goals through collaborative partnerships with government agencies faith-based organizations career centers and all other stakeholders In 2015 Reentry amp Resources became a local non-profit that provides referrals for service and financial assistance to returning citizens and those who are on probation Our group also conducts activities trainings and presentations to raise awareness in our communities in hopes of decreasing the stigma associated with criminal backgrounds Our group aids in lowering the unemploy-ment rate of citizens negatively impacted by a felony background Our services improve our community by improving a returning citizenrsquos opportunities for success Reentry amp Resources is operated by volunteers from our communities
Ninety-five percent of the over 15 million incarcerated individuals in the United States will eventually be released back into the community (West amp Sabol 2009 ACA 2013) Of those approximately 65 will reoffend and return to prison within 3 years of release (BOP 2013) Communities all across the country are affected as a victim a tax-payer a family member or a community resource While offenders are released to diverse communities with differing levels of support and intrinsic motivation experience suggests that they share many of the same challenges This Reentry Simulation will illustrate the journey to self-sufficiency and the barriers that may contribute to feelings of helplessness and decreased self-efficacy Participants will assume the identity of an ex-offender and perform tasks in four 15 minute sessions with each session representing a week By the end of this workshop participants will have simulated a month in the life of someone who has released from prison Participants will encounter the same challenges faced by many ex-offenders as they try to complete their court ordered obligations as well as maintain their day to day life This simula-tion suggests that ultimately the ability to navigate ldquothe systemrdquo may be a primary factor in the relationship between resiliency and recidivism

Established in 2009 it is the mission of the Reentry and Resources work group to identify resources for people with a criminal background enhance efforts to ensure successful reentry reduce recidivism and enhance public safety This work group achieves these goals through collaborative partnerships with government agencies faith-based organizations career centers and all other stakeholders In 2015 Reentry amp Resources became a local non-profit that provides referrals for service and financial assistance to returning citizens and those who are on probation Our group also conducts activities trainings and presentations to raise awareness in our communities in hopes of decreasing the stigma associated with criminal backgrounds Our group aids in lowering the unemploy-ment rate of citizens negatively impacted by a felony background Our services improve our community by improving a returning citizenrsquos opportunities for success Reentry amp Resources is operated by volunteers from our communities
Ninety-five percent of the over 15 million incarcerated individuals in the United States will eventually be released back into the community (West amp Sabol 2009 ACA 2013) Of those approximately 65 will reoffend and return to prison within 3 years of release (BOP 2013) Communities all across the country are affected as a victim a tax-payer a family member or a community resource While offenders are released to diverse communities with differing levels of support and intrinsic motivation experience suggests that they share many of the same challenges This Reentry Simulation will illustrate the journey to self-sufficiency and the barriers that may contribute to feelings of helplessness and decreased self-efficacy Participants will assume the identity of an ex-offender and perform tasks in four 15 minute sessions with each session representing a week By the end of this workshop participants will have simulated a month in the life of someone who has released from prison Participants will encounter the same challenges faced by many ex-offenders as they try to complete their court ordered obligations as well as maintain their day to day life This simula-tion suggests that ultimately the ability to navigate ldquothe systemrdquo may be a primary factor in the relationship between resiliency and recidivism
