Area leaders hope to implement a plan this summer that will help recently released inmates and parolees successfully reenter society and avoid re-incarceration. The Criminal Justice Reform task force for Planning District 16âwhich includes Fredericksburg and the counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania, Caroline and King Georgeâwas assembled in the fall and has been meeting monthly since November. President Joe Biden on March 31 signed a proclamation declaring April âSecond Chance Monthâ and calling for a focus on âprevention, reentry, and social support, rather than incarceration.â âAfter incarcerated individuals serve their time, they should have the opportunity to fully reintegrate into society. It benefits not just those individuals but all of society, and it is the best strategy to reduce recidivism,â the presidentâs proclamation reads.
