Recognizing the designation of the week of April 24 through April 30 as the annual "National Reentry Week".

This resolution would have the House of Representatives recognize April 24 through April 30 each year as "National Reentry Week." It states the House's view that the United States has a mass incarceration crisis and that the Nation has a responsibility to advance reentry programs for formerly incarcerated people. It states that Congress must work to increase access for formerly incarcerated people to housing, education, higher education grants, job training, and mental health services. It also encourages the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Prisons to hold reentry events at their facilities. The resolution does not create new programs or provide funding.
