John Jay College has an initiative to encourage education and reform for ex-prisoners to reduce the number of re-entry. The initiative is called Prisoner Re-entry Institute at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. The institute is led by Executive director Ann Jacob, she has researched and worked to resolve the issue of prisoner re-entry and counteract the philosophy of “get tough on crime” which many lawmakers have enforced on prisoners. Jacobs in the past has worked as a reformer and national advocate to teach and lecture others on crime, the people that go to prison and the issue of re-entry. One of the projects created by Prisoner Re-entry Institute enrolls twelve prisoners at Otisville Correctional Facility who are scheduled to be released in three years to learn under college instruction; in the hopes that this will reduce prisoner re-entry and improve communities.

I think that she is doing a great job. At least you should try to make an effort to do something good for mankind. If efforts like this can prevent someone’s reentry in prison then why not do it?
