Abstract
With approximately 650,000 prisoners returning home each year, the discussion surrounding how to best plan for their transition home has increased. Traditional supervision-focused parole services have a limited ability to adequately address all of the exprisoners needs and issues. As such, in 2003, the federal government established the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI). The SVORI is a large-scale program that provided states with federal funding to develop or enhance existing reentry services. The current study builds on the previous research by examining factors associated with program failure for both the institutional and community phases of a SVORI-funded reentry program. The results indicate that those individuals who were unemployed, who did not reside with family members, and who were higher risk were significantly more likely to fail the program during the community reentry phase.
