The Reentry Roundtable

The Reentry Roundtable is an ongoing forum that brings together accomplished academics, practitioners, community leaders, policymakers, advocates, and formerly incarcerated individuals to push the envelope of research and practice. Since its inception in 2000, the Urban Institute has convened ten meetings of the Roundtable. To date, topics have covered reentry as it relates to employment, public health, youth development, public safety, housing and homelessness, institutions of civil society (such as businesses and the faith community), education, and the unique challenges and opportunities presented by reentry from local jails. The Roundtables aim to sharpen the nation's thinking on the issues of prisoner reintegration and to foster policy innovations that will improve outcomes for individuals, families, and communities.
