INMATE TRANSITION PLAN

The first thing to do when putting together your re‐entry plan is to take inventory of the services you will need. A successful transition depends on making sure your basic needs get met. Since no one knows your needs better than you do, it is important to be very clear about what you need and what is available to you.

Start thinking about your personal needs now; use this checklist to organize your thoughts. Once you have a list, you can start planning how best to meet those needs.
