The Department of Education is excited to participate in the Department of Justice's Inaugural Reentry Week. Education, beginning while people are incarcerated and continuing in the community, is critical to successful reentry. The Department of Education has developed a Reentry Education Framework and the Reentry Education Toolkit to help correctional education and community partners design and implement high-quality reentry education programs. The nine grantees of the Improved Reentry Education program, including prisons and county jails, community colleges, and community-based organizations, are implementing this framework in communities across the country.
Watch social media for updates on Reentry Week 2016 using the hashtag #ReentryWeek, join the Correctional Education Group on LINCS, and check out the Reentry Education Toolkit.
