Our Mission
What We Do
The Reentry Coalition of New Jersey promotes public safety and reduces recidivism by offering individuals exiting the criminal justice system with direct access to reputable reentry agencies and various resources throughout the state to ensure long-term success. Through the work of our agency members, we help guide these individuals, prepare them for their transition out of the criminal justice system and support their successful reintegration back into society.
Agency Members
Our agency members are highly qualified and accredited reentry providers who are recognized leaders in the field of community-based corrections, evidence-based treatment services, effective alternatives to incarceration and criminal justice advocacy. They provide a wide-range of reentry services – from assessment, treatment and support services to employment, housing, mental health, gender-specific support and guidance and more.
Reentry In New Jersey
Community-based reentry programs play a vital role in reducing the prison population and the costs of incarceration while contributing to marked improvements in public safety, as evidenced by reductions in recidivism and lower crime rates. These programs remove barriers – ensuring that those transitioning back into society after incarceration have a real second chance at life.
Education & Advocacy
As part of our mission, the Reentry Coalition of New Jersey
is dedicated to education and advocacy efforts that further support individuals
who are returning to society post-incarceration. From research and data
analysis to white papers that shape public policy, we strive to raise awareness
of the many barriers and challenges these individuals face daily, reduce
recidivism and provide these individuals with a real second chance at life.
