The Second Chance Act is a U.S. law enacted in 2007 aimed at improving outcomes for individuals reentering society after incarceration. It provides funding for programs that support rehabilitation, job training, and substance abuse treatment, helping to reduce recidivism rates and promote successful reintegration into communities. The act also emphasizes the importance of community-based services and encourages collaboration between various stakeholders, including local governments, non-profit organizations, and law enforcement. By addressing the challenges faced by formerly incarcerated individuals, the Second Chance Act seeks to enhance public safety and foster healthier communities.
