Navigating a New Horizon: Promising Pathways to Prisoner Reintegration

This resource is the second in a series of policy-relevant issue briefs by Caliber Associates, Inc. that discuss trends in corrections, the role of religion in reentry, and results of current research. The first issue brief entitled "Prisoner Reentry, Religion and Research" points out that the faith community is perhaps an invaluable partner in prisoner reentry - promoting public safety via the provision of services to support the successful reintegration of returning prisoners. This brief contends that the Kairos Horizon program is an invaluable partner in navigating an unchartered prisoner reentry landscape. Caliber is under contract with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of the Compassion Capital Fund (CCF) to evaluate the pre- and post-release effects of the faith-based Kairos Horizon program.
