Outlines a reentry model and elements needed to make it work. This NIJ Research in Brief discusses the processes and goals of reentry—a nearly universal experience for criminal defendants, not just returning prisoners. Reentry management approaches that reintegrate offenders into the community and prevent recurring antisocial behavior are explored and the need for the judiciary to play a greater role emphasized. Current briefs in this series of eight that distill what has been learned from the Executive Sessions on Sentencing and Corrections also focus on how technological forces are converging with the forces of law and order to create "technocorrections," the drug court approach and its evolution, and the "parallel universe" approach to prison management.
