  Reentry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Reentry or re-entry is the return to the Earth's atomosphere from space.
Because a major difference between sub-orbital and orbital spaceflights is the greater speed of the latter, atmospheric reentry poses much more of a technical challenge with orbital flights than with suborbital flights.
It is assumed that this alternative approach to efficient aerobraking and reentry can be applied to orbital space craft design and may result in a markedly reduced need for strong heat shields in the future.

 Offender Reentry:  A Storm Overdue
Reentry is the process of prisoners reentering society after a period of incarceration in a prison, jail, or detention facility.
To commence a shift in reentry philosophy toward offender intake, it is imperative that a reentry plan be- come inculcated into the reception assessment process so that it transpires in a manner equivalent to classification, medical and mental health screening, and issuing clothing and personal hygiene items.
Although the focus on reentry is clearly long-term, the beginning elements of developing a reentry infrastructure are being addressed with the success of prior initiatives serving as the foundation to new planning models.

 Atmospheric reentry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because a major difference between sub-orbital and orbital spaceflights is the greater speed of the latter, atmospheric reentry from an orbital flight presents a greater technical challenge.
The main challenge with reentry is deceleration from high orbital speeds.
Conventional wisdom dictates that aerobraking is best achieved through orienting the returning space craft to fly at a high drag attitude coupled with ultra strong heat shields on the spacecraft, to convert the craft's high kinetic energy into thermal energy (heat) by shock heating.

 UNO's Evaluation of the Nebraska Department of Correction's Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Program Workplan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The purpose of the process evaluation is to examine the accuracy with which the reentry program identifies and selects the target population; the extent to which the program builds effective partnerships between criminal justice, behavioral health, and social services; and the degree to which the various components of the project are implemented as intended.
The four levels of the residential environment to be examined are: the immediate city block of residence, the census block group containing the residence, the census tract, and the zipcode of residence.
Focus groups with reentry team members will be used to obtain information on their perceptions of the program’s strengths and weaknesses, obstacles they have faced in implementing the program, and strategies they have used to address those obstacles.

 Incarceration, Reentry, and Social Capital: Social Networks in the Balance
Reentry poses ex-offenders and their families with a challenge: whether or not to rebuild the relationship.
Reentry of ex-offenders into the community creates an environment where people become increasingly isolated from each other and from the broader society and where social relationships are increasingly taxed.
Reentry is a time, if managed correctly, when networks can be enhanced, collective capacities augmented, and reentering residents helped to improve the locations where they live rather than further drain them.

 ASCA President's Corner Offender Reentry
I don't agree because reentry includes parole, but it is certainly not limited to a supervision model.
I agree, but again reentry is, or at least should be, inclusive of these notions.
To explain further, reentry planning, unlike prerelease readiness, must be set forth for the incarcerated individual soon after being admitted to a reception center.

 Reentry Predictions
The ground track highlights the location along the earth's surface where the reentry is expected to occur and where a ground-based observer might see the object as it breaks apart because of atmospheric heating and loads.
This map is created by locating the vehicle in orbit at the predicted reentry time and extending the ground track forward and backward in time, consistent with the estimated error in the prediction.
It should be noted that, in general, reentry predictions can be expected to be in error by 10% or more; thus, there is substantial uncertainty as to where reentry will actually occur.

 Are there examples of objects that have survived reentry?
Pieces that survive reentry tend to be large and in some cases heavy, posing a significant hazard to any people and property within the bounds of the object's reentry debris footprint.
For example, a lightweight piece that comes off of the parent body early in the reentry may not see sufficient heating to melt, and another object contained within the body of the satellite and protected by surrounding structure through most of the reentry may also survive.
One object recovered from the reentry of the Delta second stage into Texas was this 250-kg propellant tank.

 RAND: Prisoner Reentry: What Are the Public Health Challenges?
A recent summary of reentry trends by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) revealed that almost 25 percent of state prisoners to be released by year-end 1999 were alcohol-dependent, 14 percent were mentally ill, and 12 percent were homeless at the time of arrest.
Because these data are self-reported, they likely underestimate the true prevalence of these conditions, but they do suggest that soon-to-be-released offenders may bring a host of medical problems upon reentry and that the public health burden may be significant.
By developing innovative responses to the public health challenge to prisoner reentry in those states alone, significant public health problems could be prevented.

 Federal Probation : September 2004 Newsletter : Introduction: Reentry — The Emperor's New Clothes
The danger inherent in our current approach to reentry is that we may be changing the reentry process in ways that actually have negative consequences for both offenders and the communities in which they reside.
Based on this review, she has developed a new reentry model founded on the notion that offenders need to be treated as "active participants" rather than "active recipients" in the reentry process.
The "bells and whistles" associated with the latest wave of reentry programs include electronic monitoring, drug/alcohol testing devices, and information systems designed to track an offender's progress in a number of areas (such as compliance with treatment, employment, institutional/community conduct) as he/she moves from prison back to the community.

 NEW JERSEY REENTRY ROUNDTABLE SESSIONS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2003
The Reentry Roundtable concept is based upon a model developed at the national level by the Urban Institute, a policy research organization based in Washington, D.C. The Urban Institute, which is engaged in a broad array of research and policy development activity focused on prisoner reentry, is the convener of a national Reentry Roundtable.
Their approach understands reentry as not simply a criminal justice concern, but rather a phenomenon with implications for multiple policy domains, such as health, community development, workforce development, child and family issues, racial justice, and law enforcement.
While we will be addressing issues that affect youth throughout the prior sessions, in July we focus on the particular concerns around juvenile reentry, both as an independent challenge and as it relates to the individuals who end up in the adult system.

 A504 Reentry Radar Abstract
This system was flown successfully in performing measurements of reentry of the EPC from the Ariane 504 launch occurring on December 10, 1999.
Although this system is currently being viewed as an instrument to improve the understanding of reentry of the Ariane 5 EPC, it also has the potential to observe reentry of all types of structures associated with launches and, with the associated difficulties, reentry of objects from orbit.
Some data from the reentry observations of the EPC associated with the Ariane 504 launch will be used to illustrate system performance.
