This joint initiative by the Department of Justice and the Department of Labor aims to support urban communities with high numbers of returning prisoners by providing employment-centered programs, mentoring, job training, and transitional services to reduce recidivism. Department of Justice has already awarded grants to State correctional agencies for pre-release services, and now Department of Labor is offering grants to faith-based and community organizations operating in target counties to provide post-release services. The focus is on helping inmates secure employment and successfully reintegrate into their communities, promoting a positive transition from incarceration to civilian life.

| Description: | The Presidents Prisoner Re-entry Initiative (PRI) seeks to strengthen urban communities characterized by large numbers of returning prisoners through an employment-centered program that incorporates mentoring, job training, and other comprehensive transitional services. This program is a joint effort of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Labor (DOL) designed to reduce recidivism by helping inmates find work when they return to their communities, as part of an effort to build a life in the community for everyone. This spring, DOJ awarded PRI grants to 19 State correctional agencies to provide pre-release services to prisoners returning to one targeted county within the State. Under this solicitation, DOL will be awarding grants to faith-based and community organizations (FBCOs) to provide post-release services primarily to the prisoners provided pre-release services under the DOJ grant in urban communities within the target counties. This competition is limited to FBCOs operating within the target county(ies) identified in each DOJ grant. |
