Abstract
The emergence and rapid growth of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted the U.S. criminal justice system as federal and state governments consider allowing the early release of select currently incarcerated individuals to mitigate the pandemic's spread. As a result, the number of incarcerated individuals released into the community is likely to increase abruptly. COVID-19 has drastically altered the communities to which reentering individuals are returning, and the needs of reentry populations are changing accordingly. This article reviews the existing and anticipated criminogenic needs of previously incarcerated individuals as they transition to the community during a pandemic. It also provides recommended adaptations to reentry services in order to promote successful reentry during the COVID-19 pandemic.
