    Preparing inmates for a successful return home after incarceration and helping them become law-abiding citizens is an important part of the Department of Corrections' (DOC)  mission. Ninety percent of the DOC's inmates will return home one day, and DOC staff members work to provide inmates with treatment programs to change their criminal behaviors and provide them with job skills in an effort of helping inmates to not commit future crimes.

    The Bureau of Reentry Coordination oversees the Division of Reentry Operations, the Division of Reentry Services and Housing, and the Institutional Parole Offices.

    The Bureau of Reentry Coordination provides a team-focused approach from the time an individual arrives at one of our facilities until they return home and successfully complete supervision. Building relationships with reentrants, providers, volunteers, universities, and addressing healthcare, housing, substance use disorder and mental health are just a few of the facets of the Bureau's focus.
