Reentry Services: A New Beginning

The Ohio Department of Corrections is committed to providing reentry services that support individuals in their transition back into society. Our goal is to help offenders successfully reintegrate into their communities, reducing recidivism rates and promoting public safety.

Our reentry programs focus on addressing the underlying issues that led to an individual's incarceration, such as substance abuse, mental health concerns, or lack of education. By providing access to counseling, job training, and educational opportunities, we empower individuals to make positive changes in their lives.

Through our partnerships with community organizations and local businesses, we also provide employment assistance, housing support, and other essential services to help individuals get back on their feet.

Innovative Programs for Rehabilitation

The Ohio Department of Corrections is dedicated to providing innovative programs that promote rehabilitation and reduce recidivism. Our programs focus on addressing the root causes of criminal behavior, such as trauma, addiction, and lack of education.

Our cognitive-behavioral therapy program helps offenders identify and change negative thought patterns, while our substance abuse treatment programs provide individuals with the tools they need to overcome addiction.

We also offer vocational training and educational opportunities that equip offenders with the skills they need to secure employment upon release.

Community Engagement: Building Partnerships

The Ohio Department of Corrections recognizes the importance of community engagement and partnerships. We work closely with local organizations, businesses, and government agencies to provide essential services and support to offenders.

Our partnerships focus on addressing the root causes of criminal behavior, such as poverty, lack of education, and unemployment. By providing access to job training, educational opportunities, and healthcare services, we help individuals get back on their feet and become productive members of society.

We also engage with local communities through outreach programs, community events, and volunteer opportunities, promoting awareness and understanding about the importance of rehabilitation and reentry.
