Project Re-Entry
Caribbean
A research-driven, individual-centred reintegration journey — beginning inside the prison walls and ending with a law-abiding, self-sufficient life in the community.
Reintegration Built Around the Individual
This effective program is tailored for the individual, using a research-driven process that begins when an offender is incarcerated and ends when he is successfully reintegrated as a law-abiding citizen.
Project Re-Entry services are provided both inside the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services and in the community — in collaboration with the Royal Bahamas Police & Defense Forces and the Department of Rehabilitative/Welfare Services.
- Assists former offenders in avoiding pitfalls associated with life after incarceration
- Structured group-based curriculum offered in designated Bahamas & NC facilities
- Reduces criminal justice costs and increases public safety
Improving Reintegration.
Reducing Recidivism.
Building Safer Communities.
The mission of the program is to improve the reintegration of ex-offenders, reduce criminal justice costs, and increase public safety throughout the Bahamas and beyond.
Pre-release sessions build trust and familiarity with inmates as they attempt to reconnect with the outside world — overcoming emotional barriers and learning to build healthy human connections beyond the prison walls.
Before They Walk Out the Door
Project Re-entry begins working with inmates prior to their release through a structured, group-based curriculum offered in designated prison facilities in the Bahamas and North Carolina.
Sessions assist inmates in preparing "home plans" through specific, targeted, and realistic topics related to transition — helping them think beyond the prison walls and overcome their own emotional barriers.
- Inmates request referral through their BDCS case manager at a participating facility
- Once approved, programming begins at the next scheduled program cycle start date
- Curriculum builds trust, emotional readiness, and healthy human connection skills
Support That Doesn't Stop at the Gate
Project Re-Entry provides a variety of post-release services to pre-release program graduates. Services address the full spectrum of reintegration challenges faced by returning citizens.

3Counseling & Substance Abuse — Therapeutic support to help readjust and overcome addiction.

Project Family
Project Family is a dedicated division of Project Re-Entry specifically designed to support customized, child-centred reunification plans for families with criminal justice-involved parents.
Recognising that successful reintegration is deeply tied to family stability, Project Family bridges the gap between a returning parent and their children — building stronger, more resilient family units from day one.
