Help me study for my Criminal Justice class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.
Consider the following scenario:
Michael Anderson is currently in state prison completing a 6-year custodial sanction for possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance (cocaine). Inmate Anderson will be released in 3 months from now to start his 2-year parole term.
The process of returning back to the community from custody is known as reentry. Inmates face a lot of obstacles when they return to the community after a period of custody.
Address the following in your discussion:
- What is the purpose of reentry planning?
- What are the 3 biggest challenges that inmate Anderson (and other inmates) face when returning back to the community?
- What can be done to address these 3 challenges and make it a smoother transition out of custody?
- What should the inmate expect upon his or her initial release from custody?
- What can he or she do to increase his or her chances of success upon release?
