Resources for a successful transition to life after prison
A directory of services for people returning home from prison
created by the Education Justice Project
EJP's Illinois reentry guide has a wealth of information on preparing for reentry, steps to take following release, and directories of resources across the state.
EJP needs your help to create Reentry Zines (short booklets) for people in prison who are preparing for release. We are inviting YOU to submit writing or artwork!
EJP’s Reentry Resources
EJP publishes reentry guides, produces resources, and hosts community events. We provide academic scholarships to individuals impacted by incarceration in the US and Mexico.
EJP connects people impacted by incarceration with the resources they need for a healthy transition to life after prison. We provide tools for self empowerment, including resources related to housing, employment, education, and advocacy. We recognize that incarceration causes trauma and believe that addressing that harm benefits not only the individual but the broader community as well.
The Education Justice Project’s college-in-prison program is based at the Danville Correctional Center
