The Prisoner Reentry Institute at John Jay College of Criminal Justice was established in February 2005 and is housed within the Office of Continuing and Professional Studies. The mission of the Prisoner Reentry Institute is to spur innovation and improve practice in the field of reentry by advancing knowledge; translating research into effective policy and service delivery; and fostering effective partnerships between criminal justice and non-criminal justice disciplines.

The PRI works towards this mission by focusing its efforts on the following types of projects and activities:

• Developing, Managing, and Evaluating Innovative Reentry Projects.

• Providing Practitioners and Policymakers with Cutting Edge Tools and Expertise.

• Promoting Education Opportunities for Currently and Formerly Incarcerated Individuals as a Vehicle for Successful Reentry and Reintegration.

• Identifying “Pulse Points” and Creating Synergy Across Fields and Disciplines.
