This is a large-scale simulation designed to highlight unnecessary barriers to successful reentry from prison. During the simulation, participants will assume new identities as well as new personal factors that apply to them as ex-offenders returning to the community. They will have to meet the strict life that actual returning ex-offenders have to meet or risk going back to jail. The simulation is two hours long, and no previous experience is required to attend. 

This event is co-sponsored by the UAB Departments of Criminal Justice, Political Science, and Social Work, and the North Alabama US Attorney's Office.  There is no charge to attend, and all are welcome.
