The Justice Policy Center of the Urban Institute provides many publications that will help reentry practitioners to understand the impact of incarceration on inmates and their families. It can also assist practitioners and public administrators in determining which methods are most effective in helping ex-offenders to successfully reintegrate into their communities.
