Reentry: Different From The Concept Of Reintegration

1. The concept of reentry is different from the concept of reintegration by reentry had many different programs to help ex-prisoners back to society.
2. Reentry experiences of ex- prisoners similar to those of soldiers by, inmates have witnessed or participated in extreme violence. Ex- prisoners, and soldiers may have done so out of frustration, fear, or a commitment or perceived need to support other inmates. Also both inmates and soldiers, time away from family and friends constitutes a significant source of strain.
3. The process of reentry is returning to society and attempting to engage in the life activities that define most of us. The process of reentry can be challenging for ex-prisoners, like soldiers by managing the experiences

that they had wile away from conventional society. Most of them have been frustrated by having experiences that they cannot share with others, and have felt relieved when they can talk with someone who has been there and gets it.
4. The logic of imposing invisible punishment on convicted felons are to increase retribution, decreased crime through general deterrence, and decreased crime through reduced recidivism. The consequence of these punishments are increased unemployment, homelessness, and drug abuse.
5. Disenfranchisement I think is the most likely to contribute to increase offending rather than desistance. Disenfranchisement eliminate or limit the right of convicted felons to vote. Depending on the type of offense Ex- prisoners cannot have a driver’s license, access student loans, receive government welfare benefit, retain parental rights, and hold public office, service on a jury, or own a firearm. Supervision I believe would improve rather than worsen reentry outcomes
6. Reentry affects families and communities by in a two parent house hold, one person is left responsible for working, paying rent, buying groceries, getting children to school, and arranging child care. In the communities ex- prisoners may be more likely to recidivate and less likely to find gainful employment. The higher levels of residential mobility associated with mass reentry cab reduce trust and social capital in communities.
