Brief description ARC Centre of Excellence for Prisoner Reintegration. Australia is gripped by a reincarceration crisis with 70,000 people exiting prison each year and half returning within two years of release. Using a strengths-based, First Nations and industry led approach, this Centre aims to fundamentally transform how prisoner reintegration is envisaged, practiced and achieved at scale. Expected outcomes include a world-first national database of successful reintegration scenarios, new metrics for measuring success, tools for building social licence, training of a world-class generation of researchers, and enhanced levels of social inclusion. With Australia's annual correctional budget approaching $7B, the Centre should deliver a major return on investment via real improvements in post-prison pathways.
