THE REENTRY SIMULATION
We invite you to attend a Reentry Simulation cohosted by The Preventive Measures Foundation Inc. and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

What is a reentry simulation?
Reentry Simulations provide an understanding of the significant challenges faced by people returning home from prison. The Simulation is a two-hour activity that prompts participants to walk in the shoes of an individual who has recently returned home from prison by providing them with tasks to complete within a certain amount of time. The exercise represents the first month in the life of someone returning home. The activity will be followed by a discussion about the criminal justice system and the complexities of reentry.
We hope you can join us for this very special event.
