On June 21st, the Bardstown-Nelson County Chamber of Commerce held a Re-Entry Simulation with the Department of Corrections located at Crimmons Hall (Sister of Charity of Nazareth). Co-sponsored by the Kentucky Career Center and NelCARE.
What is a Re-Entry Simulation you might ask? A Reentry Simulation is an educational outreach event which highlights the struggles and challenges faced by individuals who are transitioning from incarceration back into their communities. It provides an opportunity for participants to gain an understanding of the significant obstacles and barriers faced by men and women upon their release from incarceration and return to their communities.
Each participant assumes the identity of a reentrant and receives a packet of materials, including a “Life Card.” The “Life Card” explains the reentrant’s criminal background, current living situation, current job situation, and the specific weekly tasks that must be accomplished in order to avoid the risk of being sent back to jail for non-compliance with the requirements of his or her supervised release. The simulation begins with an explanation and instructions from the facilitator. The “Reentrants” then set out to navigate the challenges of reentry.
The Reentry Simulation provides visibility into the perspectives of the returning citizens who those in many different fields are tasked to help. Our aim is to represent a realistic landscape of what individuals face when coming home. By experiencing these complex obstacles and barriers which reentrants must navigate, we not only gain visibility into their individual perspective but also discover innovative ways to help them succeed and build healthier, safer communities.
Special Thanks to our Hub Workforce Yearly Sponsors:
