Step into the System:
A Virtual Reentry Simulation

This is an interactive simulation that allows you to experience the challenges of reentry after incarceration. The simulation is based on real-life experiences of people who have been incarcerated and are returning to their communities.

​

Many complex issues face people who are reentering society:

Community supervision, include parole and probation

Banking

Healthcare

Education

Difficulty obtaining employment

And more

 

These issues can make daily life difficult and can lead to recidivism, or a return to incarceration. By playing the simulation, you will experience some of the challenges that the formerly incarcerated face.

​

The simulation was developed by Austin Smith during the ReEntry Acceleration Program at the Tamer Center for Social Enterprise at Columbia Business School.
