Ex-offender/ inmate re-entry within the city of Hartford, CT
The topic to be used for this piece will be inmate reentry in the city of Hartford, C.T. In order to be more specific, focus should be placed on the lack of a functional reentry program within the city of Hartford and how that is crucial to the impact on offender recidivism. There is a lack of a unified agency that can develop and put in place new policies, training and other key essential tools that adequately support and better address the needs Hartford’s returning citizens. The main issue is not that there is a dearth of government or private agencies in place that provide this specific population services. But that there is a longing for one central agency to be put in place which is able to oversee and manage how they function together, what services they provide, and among other things what amount of these returning citizens are actually receiving their services.
