"Many State prisoners are released from prison at the completion of their sentences and have not completed prerelease programming to prepare them to successfully reenter society. It is crucial, therefore, that jurisdictions create reentry handbooks that can aid prisoners in their transition back to their communities. Reentry handbooks are meant to provide prisoners returning to their communities with basic information and contacts to facilitate their successful reentry into society. The handbooks should be discrete and should be distributed to prisoners well in advance of their release. There are currently no industry standards for the design of reentry handbooks."
