| | 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. |
