The Reentry Project (TRP) was created to address the multi-factorial challenges and risks of an individual reentering society, evaluate the barriers inherent in each justice-involved individual, and present unique reentry paths created to improve the chances of success and significantly reduce recidivism.
TRP’s comprehensive solution is a transformative approach that standardizes the many dispirit data silos that exist in both the private and public sectors and removes the barriers that influence behaviors causing incarceration.
TRP consists of a world-class team of professionals with hands-on experience in successful reentry (both government and nonprofit), education, innovation, transformation, and technology design and development. All are passionate about implementing a successful solution to the national challenge of recidivism.
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the U.S. spends approximately $81 billion annually on mass incarceration. With approximately 2.3 million people behind bars, that represent about $350,000 per individual. This cost includes incarceration, law enforcement, court costs, and probation & parole.
Current resources available to justice-involved individuals re-entering society are disparate and thus difficult to comprehensively identify. There are literally thousands of government-sponsored programs coupled with thousands of not-for-profit agency services across the United States. These resources are often further complicated by complexities such as state, jurisdiction, focus, inconsistencies across geographic territories, marketing effectiveness, and sometimes the institution where they were incarcerated itself. It could boil down to something as simple as how well a caseworker is able to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of options and which ones make sense for each individual returning home.
