The Evaluation of the Re-Integration of Ex-Offenders (RExO) Program: Two-Year Impact Report

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Re-Integration of Ex-Offenders Program provides three main types of services to ex-offenders: mentoring, including one-on-one and group mentoring; employment services such as work readiness training, job training, job placement, job clubs, transitional employment, and post-placement follow-up; and case management and supportive services. This report summarizes the initial impacts of the RExO program on offender outcomes in four areas: service receipt, labor market success, recidivism, and other outcomes. The findings suggest that RExO significantly increased the number and types of services received by ex-offenders.
