This bulletin is adapted from the third panel of three at a Manhattan Institute conference. The focus of this paper is on the re-entering ex-offender population. Howard Husock introduces the people who are on the front lines, working day-to-day with people coming out of prison, thinking about what are the right strategies. These people include Peter Cove and Mindy Tarlow who are operating programs that are taking people off the streets and trying to point them toward the mainstream, Fred Davie from Public/Private Ventures in Philadelphia who is evaluating an ambitious 17-city program that involves government money and faith-based groups to find out whether that approach is working, and Brent Orrell who works for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and who has been thinking about what role the federal government ought to play.
