About us discusses the use of web-based tools to build capacity and
facilitate collaboration between various agencies working in prisoner
re-entry.
Community explains
how all those working for prisoner re-entry and organizations
supporting these efforts are part of the same community. The idea is to
move away from isolated programmes to “inclusive community
programme.”
Infrastructure
describes the need to build a framework for information sharing and
collaboration among re-entry initiatives.
How to help presents
statistics on imprisonment and discusses the need to be involved in
assisting offenders to make different life choices. There are also
suggestions for using RJC to help.
The left hand column of the page offers some basic services:
- Need help opens the searchable database of resources.
- Join provides a form for organizations interested in being listed in the RJC database to complete.
