What does life after incarceration really look like? Join us for a moderated conversation with three returning citizens as they share their experiences navigating reentry. The discussion will explore the challenges of returning home and how communities and institutions can ease the transition, offering valuable insights into the realities of reentry and what meaningful support looks like. Panelists will also highlight how they are drawing on their experiences to support others and create positive change through Voices for a Second Chance, the Prisons and Justice Initiative, and academic research.
