October 2000

The first meeting of the Reentry Roundtable was held in the fall of 2000, with the purpose of exploring prisoner reentry from a variety of perspectives-health, substance abuse, family, gender, race, employment, community capacity, and state criminal justice policies. The Urban Institute commissioned discussion papers by leading academics. Those papers (and two others on mental health and victims' perspectives) were published in a special issue of Crime and Delinquency (Volume 47, Issue 3, 2001). The papers, along with the Roundtable discussion, provided the basis for the Urban Institute monograph entitled "From Prison to Home: The Dimensions and Consequences of Prisoner Reentry."
