The Urban Institute, 2004
This study explores the difficulties faced by formerly incarcerated individuals returning from prison or jail. Three distinct sections comprise the report: 1) An analysis of the barriers that greet returning prisoners, 2) A scan of promising housing opportunities for returning prisoners and ex-offenders and 3) A roundtable discussion of experts conducted in 2003. The report argues that supportive housing is a key ingredient to help individuals overcome the barriers associated with reentry. This document was prepared by the Urban Institute Justice Policy Center for the Fannie Mae Foundation.
