About us
discusses the use of web-based tools to build capacity and facilitate collaboration between various agencies working in prisoner re-entry.

Community explains how all those working for prisoner re-entry and organizations supporting these efforts are part of the same community. The idea is to move away from isolated programmes to “inclusive community programme.”

Infrastructure describes the need to build a framework for information sharing and collaboration among re-entry initiatives.

How to help presents statistics on imprisonment and discusses the need to be involved in assisting offenders to make different life choices. There are also suggestions for using RJC to help.

The left hand column of the page offers some basic services:

  • Need help opens the searchable database of resources.
  • Join provides a form for organizations interested in being listed in the RJC database to complete.
