Look At United Kingdom and Germany Prisoner Re-entry Initiatives
By Kayleigh Harvey – Talk Radio News Service
Jeremy Travis, President of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice tells the The House Appropriations Committee: “America stand apart from the rest of the Western world, worse, in terms of our levels of incarceration, how we treat people while they are in prison and the approach to reintegration.” Mr. Travis suggested that America look at reintegration strategies used in the United Kingdom and Germany at a Subcommittee hearing today on “What Works for Successful Prisoner Re-entry.”
