of the incarcerated and discuss the relative strengths and weaknesses of these

and families and those experiencing incarceration; and c) discuss the gaps in our
understanding of these issues. This session is free, CEUs are available for a fee. For

We are excited to launch Stories of Reentry, a film series on our website! We launch
these films in partnership with the communities we serve, with the hope that these films
will influence the public discourse and imagination about our criminal justice system, and
will inspire our audience to take action and become a part of the movement for criminal
justice reform. The full video series is now up on the home page of the Root & Rebound
website and there is a full page dedicated to these Stories of Reentry. In the midst of
harrowing statistics and systemic injustice, these first-person narratives amplify the strong
voices of the formerly incarcerated and humanize the experience of reentry. They make
clear the impact our broken systems and policies are having on individuals, families,
neighborhoods, and communities. Through these brave storytellers’ candid testimony of
grief, violence, addiction, and trauma, we hear the common stories of struggle and the
isolation of desperation. What resonates louder, however, is the optimistic shift that
occurs when these individuals find the support of communities, employment services, and
legal organizations like Root & Rebound. Screenings will be held across California in
2016, so please email us at [email protected] if you are interested in hosting one
in your community.
