Reentry Program

The Dorchester Bay Reentry Program is the Commonwealth’s first CDC-based program for returning citizens to their community after incarceration.

Our reentry program:

  • Supports a successful return to the workplace and community through job placement and supportive services upon release.
  • Bolsters self-sufficiency and economic prosperity.
  • Reduces prison recidivism and disrupts the cycles of incarceration and poverty.
  • Meets individuals where they are, working with them to identify beneficial services using a holistic approach to skill building, education, and mental health counseling.
