The Prisoner Reentry Institute at John Jay College of Criminal Justice is pleased to announce the launch of our new Reel Reentry film series that will build off the success we have had with our monthly Occasional Series on Reentry Research.

Reel Reentry will provide opportunities for members of the field to gather and discuss important documentaries and feature films that address reentry issues.

Our launch event will take place on Tuesday, June 24 from 5:00- 7:30 PM with a screening of Sherrybaby. Starring Maggie Gyllenhaal, the film documents a 19-year old woman's struggle to regain custody of her young daughter after serving three years in prison.

A moderated discussion will follow the screening, facilitated by Yolanda Johnson-Peterkin, who oversees reentry services at the Women's Prison Association.

The event will be held at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (899 Tenth Avenue, between 58th and 59th Streets) in Room 630.
