Supporting a successful transition to the community is central to the mission of the Bureau of Prisons. Read about some of the ways the Bureau protects public safety by helping inmates prepare for productive, crime-free lives after release in "Making Changes".

Reentering your community can be more manageable when you're aware of services and resources available to help. This handbook, "Reentering Your Community" contains three checklists: for before your release, just after you return home, and later, when you're a bit more settled in. It also includes additional information in specific areas where you may have questions or be looking for tools available to you. Be sure to review these lists, and discuss them and questions you may have with your Case Manager, Bureau Social Worker, or Reentry Affairs Coordinator. Reentry can be a complicated process - others have felt the same way. But many of them were able to overcome this and have succeeded in finding work, supporting themselves and their families, and more. We want you to achieve the same.
