Re-entry mediation gives inmates the chance to have a meeting with family members or other support people before they are released. Lingering conflicts from before incarceration can be resolved in mediation. Sometimes there is resentment, anger, or shame from the charge or things that took place during incarceration. In re-entry mediation everyone can express their point of view and establish a plan on how to move forward successful when the inmate is released. 

Prison Re-entry Mediation Benefits
