The Reentry Project. Reentry: Life on the Outside
Reentry: Life on the Outside documents the first-hand accounts of former prisoners who have made the transition from prison to the community, citing their struggles, successes, and failures. During this fifty-minute video, a diverse group of formerly incarcerated men and women speak openly and honestly about post-release issues related to housing, substance abuse, employment, education, and family. In addition, their children provide powerful, moving testimonials that reflect the emotional and psychological trauma they've experienced as a result of their parents' incarceration. The program features in-depth interviews and analysis from educators, practitioners, and program directors on factors that are predictors for relapse, re-offending, and recidivism. The film was produced by Reentry Productions, Keith Thomas, executive director.
