Ingredients for Successful Reintegration Acknowledgements The focus group was funded by the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation (NRC) through a task order to the Urban Institute. The authors are grateful to NRC for their investment in this focus group and other work that will serve as a foundation for understanding the barriers to prisoner reentry in the District of Columbia. The authors would like to thank the Alliance of Concerned Men for their partnership on this effort. Tyrone Parker, Executive Director, and Sig Cohen spent a substantial amount of time planning the focus group with Urban Institute staff, identifying the participants, contacting the participants, and securing their involvement. Most importantly, it was the credibility of the Alliance and Tyrone Parker that ultimately got people to the table and created an atmosphere of openness and trust. The authors would also like to thank Katharine Kravetz, Academic Director of the Transforming Communities Semester at American University, for hosting the focus group on the American University Tenley Campus. The views expressed are those of the authors, and should not be attributed to the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation or the Urban Institute, its trustees, or its funders.
