Abstract

This project researched the interdisciplinary field of prison reentry and examined how justice-involved individuals can safely participate in the local church life. Church leadership raises concerns about inviting individuals recently released from prison or jail due to the challenges they face in re-entering society. Church leaders report facing limitations in their resources to address these challenges. With the proper support and resources, the formerly incarcerated can make meaningful contributions to their communities and experience significant benefits from religious institutions. The research supported these findings, demonstrating the need for educational materials for church leaders. "From the Cell House to the Church House: Comprehensive Prison Release Handbook” provided church leaders a tool to understand the risks and advantages of having justice-involved individuals and their families in the church. The handbook contains information on prison release, church assimilation, and risk management. The handbook provides examples, illustrations, and sample policies and procedures to create a welcoming and supportive environment for individuals reentering the community from prison.
