The resolution designates the last week of April each year as Reentry Week in New Jersey, aiming to raise public awareness about the challenges faced by formerly incarcerated individuals as they reintegrate into society. It highlights the various obstacles these individuals encounter, such as securing employment, housing, healthcare, and mental health support, which can contribute to recidivism and social issues. The resolution acknowledges the efforts of federal, state, and local leaders, as well as organizations like the New Jersey Reentry Services Commission and the Commission on Reentry Services for Women, which are dedicated to identifying and addressing the needs of those transitioning from incarceration.

By establishing Reentry Week, the resolution encourages communities and organizations, including state agencies, to engage in activities and programs that support the reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals. The Governor is empowered to issue an annual proclamation to promote observance of the week, emphasizing the importance of fostering an environment that allows these individuals to become productive members of society after serving their sentences.
