Reentry Resource Center - New York
Reentry Net/NY is the first ever support network and information clearinghouse on prison and jail reentry, and the consequences of criminal proceedings on individuals and families in New York State. Attorneys, social service providers, policy advocates, individuals with criminal records, family and community members are encouraged to join for full access to the online resource library, monthly mailings, and calendar updates.
Our look has changed, but all the resources you're used to are still here. Use the tabs at the top of the page to navigate between the Library, Calendar, and other tools.
