According to the Missouri Department of Corrections, 60,000 Missourians are on probation or parole. These men and women are reentering our communities. Failure rates for parole or probation violations can be as high as 50%. These individuals face significant challenges, including finding suitable housing and employment.
The Reentry Simulation allows participants to understand the obstacles individuals face upon release from incarceration. Participants assume the identity of a returning citizen and navigate through a series of events to reintegrate successfully into the community. Participants will experience the challenges encountered daily by those returning.
Following the simulation, participants will have a group debrief to share and reflect on their experiences and insights. Participants will then hear from individuals who share their experiences with re-entering our community.
