The Case for Individualized Reentry Plans for Individuals with Disabilities with Sharif Brown

In part two, Sharif discussed effective ways to address the often-overlooked challenges faced by individuals with disabilities during reentry. Sharif makes a compelling case for why individualized reentry plans are not just beneficial, but necessary, for supporting successful reintegration.
