As Connecticut’s prison population continues to decline, reentry supports become an integral part of one’s successful reintegration back into the lives of their children, families, and communities. Reentry is complex as it touches on every aspect of a person’s life. Once an individual is released from prison, challenges can arise with finding assistance around basic needs, housing, employment, mental health, substance abuse supports, and other necessary resources. Identifying these resources in a timely fashion is critical to one’s overall reentry success.

The purpose of this website is to centralize reentry resources here in Connecticut to make it easier for someone to navigate the system, find support and be successful when they return home to their families and communities. Start by reaching out to contacts at a local roundtable near you or search through the resources listed on the website to find a supportive network of providers as well as a second chance.
