Getting out of prison rightly gets a lot of reentry attention, but even short stays in a county jail can have follow-on effects. Even a few days in jail can cause a person to miss work, resulting in loss of his job. Without that income, the rent doesn’t get paid, with the loss not only of a stable roof, but often most of his possessions.

From United States Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Georgia:

"The Department of Justice has designated the week of April 24-30, 2016, as National Reentry Week. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia will host a reentry symposium entitled “Pathways to Successful Reentry” on Wednesday, April 27, 2016, at Georgia State University College of Law from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

We anticipate having two panels, one highlighting reentry programs & services, and the other focusing on policy advocacy, recent legal changes, and pending legislation. Following the two panels, we will screen the reentry documentary “Pull of Gravity,” which chronicles the lives of three returning citizens and the obstacles they encounter post-imprisonment concerning housing, employment, and family reunification. Service providers will be located in the lobby outside of the event auditorium, providing community resources for returning citizens, anyone with a criminal record, and family members and friends of returning citizens. Anyone with a criminal record, interested stakeholders, service providers, and policy advocates are encouraged to attend."
