Final Evaluation of the Prisoner Reentry Initiative

Created in 2005, the Prisoner Reentry Initiative (PRI) is a joint endeavor of the U.S. Departments of Labor and Justice. The Initiative seeks to strengthen urban communities that experience a high number of returning prisoners through employment-centered projects that include job training, housing referrals, mentoring, and other comprehensive transitional services. This evaluation found that among PRI grantees, two-thirds of clients are placed in unsubsidized employment within three weeks.
