CCUSA calls for bipartisan support of Reentry Act
June 27, 2023
Catholic Charities USA President and CEO Sister Donna Markham OP, PhD, wrote to congressional leaders in support of the Reentry Act (S. 1165). The Reentry Act will assist justice-impacted individuals in their effective reintegration into society while promoting healthcare equity and potentially reducing healthcare costs. By facilitating successful reentry, this bill strengthens communities, reduces recidivism rates, and promotes public safety, ultimately benefiting the common good.
