UNC Pr*son Reentry Simulation in Partnership with Our Journey

Experience what returning from Pr*son feels like. This exercise models the process of reintigrating back into society after incarceration. Each participants assumes the identity of a recently released individual and has four "weeks", each lasting 15 minutes to interact with volunteers at booths representing reentry support organizations. Because every identity is different, every participant interacts with the simulation uniquely, which correlates to the wide variety of reentry experiences for those who actually do rejoin our communities after their incarceration. It is a profoundly jarring yet enlightening experience.
