College Initiative via The Prisoner Re-entry Institute:

The Prisoner Reentry Institute’s (PRI) diversified portfolio reflects an overall focus on understanding what it takes for people to live successfully in their communities after contact with the criminal justice system, and on increasing the effectiveness of the professionals who work with them. We do this through our three main tracks of policy advocacy, direct service practice, and collaborative partnerships.

Policy advocacy: Providing practitioners and policymakers with cutting edge tools and expertise
Direct service practice: Developing, managing and evaluating innovative reentry projects
Collaborative partnerships: Identifying opportunities and building collaboration across fields and disciplines
