PRE ENTRY
Preparation that begins
before release day.
Reentry Exchange is a platform-enabled preparation system deployed inside correctional facilities. Curriculum, resources, media, and planning tools — so individuals leave with a plan, a perspective, and a real start.
WHAT REENTRY EXCHANGE IS
The period before release is where preparation has the greatest impact — and where most systems leave the largest gap. Reentry Exchange fills that gap with a connected preparation platform that works inside the facility, before the gate opens.
It is not a discharge checklist or a pamphlet handed out on release day. It is a full suite of tools — curriculum, resource navigation, media content, and release planning frameworks — designed to be accessed consistently over weeks, months and years before someone comes home.
The platform works alongside existing facility programming and partnerships. It is designed to complement and connect — adding structure, content, and technology to the work that corrections staff and reentry coordinators are already doing well.
A platform built for the window that matters most.
WHO IT’S FOR
Built for inside the facility
Designed for correctional facilities and DOC partners who want to extend the value of their reentry programming. Works with existing staff, existing partnerships, and existing infrastructure.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Preparation that evolves
The platform continuously improves from field insights — keeping curriculum current, keeping resources accurate, keeping content grounded in what people actually need when they come home.
WHERE IT STANDS
Active pilot, growing
Currently operating as a live pilot with MDOC and Grand Valley State University across multiple security levels. The evidence base is being built. The model is ready to replicate.
WHAT THE PLATFORM INCLUDES
Three components. One connected preparation system.
Each component works independently and compounds when used together — giving individuals the knowledge, the resources, the perspective, and the plan they need before they leave.
01 DIGITAL CURRICULUM
Structured learning delivered inside
Modular lessons covering every dimension of successful reentry — housing, employment, identity documents, benefits, family reintegration, and financial literacy. Accessible inside the facility on a consistent schedule, built on lived experience and continuously updated from field insights.
Modular lessons designed for facility access
Built on lived experience and field-validated insight
Continuously updated to reflect current reality
Practical content across every reentry domain
02 RESOURCE NAVIGATOR
Community resources mapped before release
A location-based service map connecting individuals to housing, ID, healthcare, employment, and benefit resources — organized by destination community, with plain-language step-by-step guides. Built to be accessed before release, not after the crisis begins.
Location-based resource database by service type
Plain-language guides for every critical category
Updated from field insights — reflects what's actually available
Accessible inside the facility weeks before release
03 NCS MEDIA
Professional voices and lived experience
NCS Media brings educational and motivational content directly into the facility — featuring professional leaders, field experts, and people who have successfully navigated reentry themselves. Residents hear from the people whose perspective matters most.
Educational content from field leaders and practitioners
Motivational voices from people who have lived the journey
Distributed statewide through the platform
Continuously expanding content library

WHO REENTRY EXCHANGE SERVES
Built for every person inside the facility
The platform is designed for the full range of people and roles inside a correctional facility.
INSIDE RESIDENTS
For individuals preparing for release
Access structured curriculum, resource navigation, media content, and planning tools weeks or months before your release date. Leave with a plan, a network, and a clear pathway — not just a date and a bus ticket.
FACILITY ADMINSTRATORS
For DOC directors and facility leadership
A platform-based preparation system that complements your existing reentry programming without adding administrative burden. Structured, measurable, and built to work within correctional facility infrastructure. Full implementation support at every stage.
INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERS
For universities, nonprofits, and coalitions
Built for institutional partnership — with academic partners for research and evaluation, with nonprofits for community resource integration, with state coalitions for replication. Grand Valley State University is the current academic partner, building the evidence base alongside the pilot.
REENTRY COORDINATORS
For staff working directly with residents
Tools that make your work more effective — not more complicated. The Resource Navigator surfaces what's available in each resident's destination community. The planning tools create shared documentation. The curriculum and media content reinforce what you're already teaching, consistently and at scale.
