Engineering Equity For All ™ Justice-Involved

Supply Chain + Workforce Pathways

Engineering Equity For All ™ Justice-Involved provides immediate workforce, supply chain, and wraparound service pathways to the reentry of justice-involved populations. All career pathways are focused on administrative, technical, and labor careers within the following infrastructure sectors: Clean Energy, Ports, Utilities, Roads, Airports, Healthcare, and Telecommunications.

Reentry programs and reentry courts are designed to help to return citizens successfully "reenter" society following their incarceration, thereby reducing recidivism, improving public safety, and saving money for taxpayers.

    • At any one time, nearly 6.9 million people are on probation, in jail, in prison, or on parole in the United Sates.

    • Each year, more than 600,000 individuals are released from state and federal prisons. Another 9 million cycle through local jails.

    • More than two-thirds of prisoners are rearrested within 3 years of their release and half are incarcerated.

    • When reentry fails, the costs are high — more crime, more victims, and more pressure on already-strained state and municipal budgets. There is also more family distress and community instability.

    • Roughly 1 in 28 children currently has a parent behind bars. Mass incarceration has been a major driver of poverty.
