Policy-makers, news analysts, and community activists alike have honed in our prisoner re-entry as a major challenge facing the U.S. Many FBOs have become engaged in serving ex-offenders in recent years, and many more are exploring ways to do so effectively.
FASTEN’s newest programs topic on ex-offender reentry provides dozens of practical, informative resources that can help. Practitioners will find program profiles; how-to manuals; and curricula for life skills, mentoring, and jobs initiatives for ex-offenders as well as helpful background “orientation” materials, sample forms to use in programs, and links to some of the best websites offering information and advice.
