Reentry Simulation: Omaha Correctional Center
Reentry Simulations are an exercise used to replicate the first two weeks of returning to the community after incarceration. Participants will assume an assigned identity that includes their mock employment, living arrangements, relationship status, and more. Throughout the exercise, participants will navigate their mock reentry based on their identity and requirements of parole.

Volunteers score the pitches and vote for the participants who will move on to the next round of pitching.
