A Portrait of Prisoner Reentry in Texas

The Urban Institute released a report that is a part of the Returning Home initiative that develops a deeper understanding of the reentry experiences of returning prisoners, their families, and their neighborhoods. The report describes the process of prisoner reentry by examining the policy context of reentry in Texas, the characteristics of Texas's returning inmates, the geographic distribution of returning prisoners, and the social and economic climates of the communities that are home to the highest concentrations of returning prisoners.
