Reentry 2030 is a national movement driving meaningful reforms in how states support individuals returning to their communities after incarceration. By addressing barriers to employment, education, and housing, corrections officials aim to break the cycles of recidivism, homelessness, and hospitalization. The stated goal of the Reentry 2030 initiative is to shift the narrative of reentry success, providing evidence-based solutions while celebrating the progress and achievements of states reaching their goals. Working to reform and reframe reentry empowers individuals to rebuild their lives, strengthens communities, and enhances public safety nationwide. Together, the initiative is focused on shaping a brighter future for reentry.
To date, a handful of states have signed on to fulfill the goals of Reentry 2030. None has been more forward-looking than Alabama, with the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles leading the way. In particular, ABPP Director Cam Ward has championed Reentry 2030 initiative for the state and advanced successful public-private partnerships that include GEO Reentry, community colleges and vocational training organizations.
