Prisoner Reentry and Crime in America is intended to shed light on a question that fuels the public's concern about the number of returning prisoners. What are the public safety consequences of the fourfold increase in the number of individuals entering and leaving the nation's prisons each year? Many have speculated about the nexus between prisoner reentry and public safety. Journalistic accounts of the reentry phenomenon have painted a picture of a tidal wave of hardened criminals coming back home to resume their destructive lifestyles. Law enforcement officials have attributed increases in violence in their communities to the influx of returning prisoners. Politicians have recommended policies that keep former prisoners out of high crime neighborhoods in the belief that crime would be reduced. The chapters in this book address these issues and suggest policies that will keep released prisoners from committing new crimes.

"This Research for Practice report is the second in a series of reports about the experiences of the JOD sites in implementing the demonstration. It begins with a general description of JOD operations at the three study sites. This report then presents findings from a process evaluation of the three JOD sites (that is, an evaluation of the processes used at the sites), and concludes with lessons learned about implementing JOD and similar initiatives."
