    Did you know each year approximately 600,000 individuals are released from prison in the United States?
     
    How do they reintegrate into society after their release? Are there any programs to help prepare inmates for reintegration during incarceration, and which of these programs are effective? What are the differences between the people who manage to break the cycle of release and re-arrest and those who return to prison, despite their efforts at a successful reintegration?
     
    These are some of the challenges that individuals face after being released from prison or jail. In Returning Home: Reintegration after Prison or Jail, the author presents results of his interviews with dozens of parolees who shared their life experiences about being released from prison and managing reintegration. Bahr explains the challenges faced by former inmates after they are released, including finding living arrangements, dealing with mental health and substance use issues, and avoiding relapse and re-arrest. He also explores how race, gender, and social context affect outcomes. Although there are existing resources, Bahr provides a more comprehensive look at the process of reintegration using both qualitative and quantitative data to address these major concerns. Returning Home will serve as an excellent resource for practitioners, researchers, students, and individuals who have friends and family members that have been in jail or prison and are attempting to reintegrate.
     
    Learning Objectives:
    • Evaluate the readiness of a prisoner for reintegration. This includes strengths that are likely to help the parolee as well as weaknesses that could be stumbling blocks that hinder the reintegration success.
    • Counsel with and help prepare prisoners for reintegration into the community.
    • Evaluate research studies on reintegration programs and policies.
    • Use theories and research evidence to evaluate the potential effectiveness of existing and planned reintegration programs and policies.
    • Identify programs and policies that are likely to be effective in helping individuals reintegrate successfully after serving time in prison or jail.
    • Design programs that are likely to be effective in helping individuals reintegrate after prison. 
    • Counsel family members and friends on how they can help a parolee reintegrate successfully. This will include ways they can be supportive and things they should not do.
