Also, there is a group discussion at the end of every week, which will include a final debrief at the conclusion of the reentry simulation. This impactful training will provide participants with a valuable first-hand experiential journey of reentry which can assist in shifting perspectives on reentry. Learning Objectives: • Discuss the challenges individuals face entering society after a period of incarceration (e.g., identifications, employment). • Discuss evidence-based strategies (e.g., graduated sanctions) that are used to address supervision non-compliance. • Analyze the shifting perspectives for correctional professionals as it relates to reentry.
