The Safe Return Initiative recently released two new publications March 13, 2007
Posted by FairSentencing in : Current News , trackback- Safe Return: Working Toward Preventing Domestic Violence When Men Return from Prison reports on current and promising practices for addressing domestic violence during prisoner reentry. It draws upon two roundtable discussions that brought prison and community supervision professionals together with domestic violence experts, community representatives, and men and women who have personally contended with reentry and domestic abuse.
- Domestic Violence and Prisoner Reentry: Experiences of African American Women and Men captures key themes raised in discussion groups conducted with women and men whose knowledge of these issues is personal, rather than professional.
