Commonwealth of Massachusetts Inmate Reentry Programs

Commonwealth of Massachusetts Inmate Reentry Programs include a variety of state sponsored programs to support the reintegration process. One of the core strategies that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Corrections prioritizes is the development of a comprehensive reentry plan. This helps to ensure that individuals understand the most immediate barriers they may face during reintegration and which social service organizations can most help them navigate these barriers. Through numerous presentations and workshops, staff connect pre-release individuals with information and referrals to organizations that support reintegration through residential services, treatment programs, job development, educational opportunities and more. They key to reducing recidivism, they believe, is in ensuring that no individual leaves the corrections system without the necessary information to succeed. The organization also facilitates several rehabilitative programs, including parental support programs, substance abuse programs, violence reduction programs and work programs.
