THE AIM OF PROJECT RE-ENTRY IS TO USE THE UNDERSTANDING AND EXPERIENCE OF SUCCESSFUL EX-OFFENDERS IN PREPARING INMATES FOR SUCCESSFUL ADJUSTMENT TO LIFE AFTER RELEASE FROM PRISON. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED INCLUDED SCHEDULING THE MEETING TIMES TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EX-INMATES, MODIFYING PRISON SECURITY, AND RELAXING THE RULE AGAINST ASSOCIATING WITH EX-INMATES, WHO HAD AIDED EACH OTHER BOTH IN REGIONAL MEETINGS AND PERSONAL CONTACTS. THE PROJECT FINALLY EVOLVED INTO A SUCCESSFUL PRERELEASE COUNSELING SERVICE IN WHICH TWO EX-INMATES HOLD WEEKLY MEETINGS WITH AN INMATE WHO IS WITHIN THREE MONTHS OF THE PAROLE BOARD.
