The workshop emphasizes the need for a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to reduce repeat involvement in the criminal justice system. It focuses on addressing root causes of incarceration and promoting successful reentry through access to housing, mental health care, substance use treatment, education, employment services, and small business support. Key components include housing stability, community engagement, personal coaching, goal-setting, and ongoing evaluation to track outcomes and adapt programs based on data and participant input.

Lynne Chamber's workshop was part of the 2025 Southermost Illinois Conference on Criminal Justice at Shawnee Community College, June 27 & 28, 2025 - organized by Legacy Training, Inc. and funded in part through the Illinois Humanities Council.
