Hi! I'm Darby. I'm creating this website as a hub for reentry programs in Upstate New York - for people who work in or run reentry programs to find resources, tools, and research to grow a program, or build a brand new one! I'm presenting my original research on several reentry programs for jail populations in Upstate NY, as well as other research, podcasts, documentaries, books, and movies that help the field of reentry!

My hope is to help kickstart an explosion of reentry programs in Upstate NY, celebrate the amazing work being done, and connect reentry providers across the state.

What you'll find in this website...

Programs

Descriptions of some reentry programs in Upstate, the paths they took to build them, and tips on building a similar program - based on my research!

Guidebook

A step-by-step blueprint for creating a reentry coordination program based on my research of several programs in Upstate

Resources

Tools to help anyone get into the field of reentry or expand your existing knowledge. Includes basic explanations of NYS criminal justice, important and timely research, and example forms.

Coming Soon: Community Forum

Soon ReentryToolsNY will include a community forum for reentry providers, corrections staff, and community members to ask questions, share insight, and chat!

I hope you'll check back as I publish the website and add to it!

This website is part of my Honors Thesis at UMass Amherst:

It also comes out of my own work in reentry programs, and getting to see the incredible things happening in Upstate! Please check back to enjoy the spotlight on amazing programs and dedicated providers in NYS.
