Daren Swenson is the vice president of Reentry Partnerships and Innovation at CoreCivic.
Again this year, the federal government has officially designated the month of April as Second Chance Month. It s a time to raise public awareness about the need to give those who have been convicted of crimes and completed their sentences a real opportunity for an honest second chance at successfully reentering our communities.
At CoreCivic, this focus on reentry and reducing recidivism has been and continues to be a major part of what we do year-round because we believe we have a moral, social and economic obligation to provide those who have been entrusted into our care with the tools they need to successfully reenter their communities upon their release and to stay out of prison.
