The Reentry Blueprint: Stories and Solutions from the Formerly Incarcerated is a free public event to advance the conversation on reentry in Philadelphia by providing a platform for formerly incarcerated people to present effective models that address the challenges facing people with criminal histories. The evening will highlight six “Lightning Talks" by formerly incarcerated individuals on topics such as crime and violence reduction, homeownership, entrepreneurship and trauma-informed care. Audience questions will follow. Light refreshments will be served.

One out of every six Philadelphians has been incarcerated. Returning home from prison can be an uphill battle. This event will bring together returning citizens, journalists and technologists to discuss what needs these Philadelphians have and how technology can help.
