Reforming Reentry: A Holistic Approach to Transforming Lives

The ABCs of Prisoner Re-entry model focuses on collaboration between all parties involved in the reentry process—family, law enforcement, courts, social services, and community—to create opportunities for former offenders to thrive and give back to society. Learn how this integrated system is driving sustainable change and reducing recidivism.

The Objective of PSD’s ABCs of Prisoner Re-entry

The ABCs of Re-entry model aims to create a strong connection between all parties involved in the re-entry process—family, law enforcement, courts, corrections, probation, parole, social services, and the community—to transform former offenders into productive, contributing members of society.

Maximizing Society’s Investment

PSD’s ABCs of Re-entry uses proven systems to motivate present and former incarcerated persons to take active, positive roles in society, ensuring a valuable return on societal investments in rehabilitation and justice.

A Plan That Benefits Everyone
