The VISION of the Michigan Prisoner ReEntry Initiative (MPRI) is that every prisoner released from prison will have the tools needed to succeed in the community.
The MISSION of the MPRI is to reduce crime by implementing a seamless plan of services and supervision developed with each prisoner —delivered through state and local collaboration—from the time of their entry into prison through their transition, reintegration, and aftercare in the community.
In keeping with the Vision and Mission of the MPRI, the support and services below are made available to returning prisoners. Local MPRI Sites coordinate the delivery of these services with assistance from federal, state, and local agencies. Contact the local Community Coordinator closest to your community to learn more.
