According to the World Population Review, in the United States, there are 331,002,651 incarcerated. Reentry programs play a large role in the trajectory of offender's success in society. The population focus in this study will be graduates of the Life Learning Center, a reentry facility, who have committed drug related crimes and are in recovery. This descriptive study follows the success of graduates of LLC and whether they believe this reentry program was effective or not.
