This brief report provides information gained from practitioners and justice-involved individuals who had access to a web-based reentry planning tool, called Pokket, in prisons that were operated by the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction; The goal for this project was to inform companies on how to develop or refine reentry-focused web-based tools.
The process of reentering society after incarceration is complex, full of challenges, and difficult for even the most motivated individuals to navigate successfully. There is a widespread need to develop and implement tools to foster returning citizens’ success upon release. This brief summarizes some of the key challenges to reentry that emerging technology could help alleviate, current strategies to implement technology to address such challenges, and recommendations for improving the use of technology-based tools. It is intended to be used by technology vendors who are developing web- and application-based tools to facilitate reentry and is a companion piece to an earlier brief targeted toward correctional agencies considering the use of such technology.
