At Voting Access for All Coalition, we believe in second chances, fair narratives, and policy solutions that support successful reentry. Too often, discussions about recidivism are driven by misleading statistics and fear-based rhetoric rather than the real experiences of people returning home from incarceration.

That’s why we’re excited to invite you to a webinar on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, at 1 PM EST, hosted by the Prison Policy Initiative’s Advocacy Department. This session will break down recidivism statistics, expose common misconceptions, and equip advocates with the tools to push back against harmful narratives.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ The truth behind recidivism statistics – what the data actually tells us about reentry and success.
✅ How to counter the “Willie Horton” effect – challenging fear-based messaging that harms justice reform efforts.
✅ Reframing the narrative – focusing on the positive contributions of returning citizens instead of negative stereotypes.

This training is perfect for advocates, policymakers, and anyone passionate about justice reform. By understanding recidivism beyond the numbers, we can change the conversation and advocate for policies that truly support successful reentry.
