Connecticut was recently touted as one of five states with the largest rates of decarceration in the country. Yet there is still significant work ahead to fulfill the promise of Justice Reinvestment and ensure successful reintegration of those leaving incarceration. By highlighting the recent CT Reentry Strategy, this conference looks to the very communities most impacted by incarceration to play a critical role in the next phase of justice reform. Come lend your voice to the conversation!
