Abstract
-
Adult in Custody reentry back into the community has a wide-reaching impact across the United States. Much research has been done to understand how to enrich this process in order to increase community safety and reduce recidivism, but little is known about the state of reentry in Oregon. This study investigates the recognized relevant factors concerning a successful reentry back into the community and applies them to Oregon’s reentry programming and policies. This study uses secondary data gathered across multiple databases delimited by research that focuses on adult prison reentry only. This research was organized and analyzed to reveal common relevant factors to successful reentry and then compared against the collected information regarding Oregon’s reentry practices via government websites, literature, and other forms of disseminated information. The findings indicate that relevant factors supporting successful reentry start at intake and continue through incarceration and time back in the community. Oregon reentry practices apply several of these factors in their reentry programs and policies but still need to expand in order to become a leader in successful community reentry. The findings highlight areas of success and failure to create a roadmap for future reentry development and research.
