During the pandemic, the already-high number of people being released from California’s jails and prisons soared. Now, several state officials have joined service providers to launch a program aimed at helping formerly incarcerated people reenter society.
Sen. Maria Elena Durazo (D-Los Angeles) and Assemblymembers Isaac Bryan and Mia Bonta recently started the Re-Entry Providers Association of California (REPAC), which aims to equip reentry service providers with resources as they help those re-entering society.
