REENTRY PLANNING (§ 53.1-32.2)

The Department shall develop and implement, in cooperation with and taking into
account the individual needs and willingness to participate of the inmate, a
comprehensive reentry plan for each person committed to the supervision of the
Department, as soon as practicable, considering the prisoner&#8217;s anticipated
release date. Such plan shall identify educational, vocational, therapeutic, and
other programs necessary to prepare the person for successful transition from
prison to society upon the person&#8217;s discharge and shall include mentor
pairing to the extent possible. The Department shall coordinate any reentry
programs provided through the Department pursuant to the reentry plan with any
other reentry or other relevant programs offered by any public or private
organization or entity at the local, state, or federal level, which are also
included in the plan.
