Description: Prisoner reentry-the process of individuals leaving prison and jail and returning to the community-is a topic of increasing concern to law enforcement agencies across the country. With more than 650,000 prisoners returning to society each year, prisoner reentry poses many challenges to the communities involved, including an increased risk to public safety and a limited availability of jobs, housing, and social services for the returning prisoners. Mapping can provide valuable information on how prisoner reentry is affecting local communities, and the extent to which existing resources and services are addressing the needs of reentering populations.
