24-25 Re-Entry Mediation Specialist - Statewide, MD

Re-entry mediation provides an opportunity for people in conflict to have difficult conversations with the help of non-judgmental mediators. Re-entry mediation allows everyone involved to talk about their experiences, be heard by each other, and establish a plan on how to move forward productively before the individual is released. Re-entry mediation has been shown to decrease the likelihood of arrest post-release, with additional mediation sessions decreasing the probability of arrest further. All positions are pending grant approval.
