Opportunity and Reentry: Creating Pathways for Returning Citizens in Md. and Beyond

-
The American Enterprise Institute and UB's School of Criminal Justice in the College of Public Affairs will host a conference on increasing opportunity and reducing recidivism for returned citizens in Maryland and beyond.
This year, more than 600,000 individuals will return to communities after serving time behind bars. More than 8,000 will return to Baltimore City alone. They often struggle to find work, housing and a steady social network. More than 40 percent are rearrested within a year.
How can we increase opportunity and reduce recidivism for the formerly incarcerated? AEI and the School of Criminal Justice will convene practitioners, returned citizens, entrepreneurs and philanthropists to identify best practices in prisoner education and reentry programs, transition services, employment opportunities, and economic empowerment. The conference will highlight innovative models for reentry and will address other aspects of the criminal justice system.
Join the conversation on social media with #OpportunityAndReentry.
