Second Chance Act of 2007
What is available for offenders preparing for successful reintegration into the community upon
their release? In this essay, we will discuss an overview of the "Second Chance Act of 2007" and
determine its success. Additionally, we will dive into the government ethically responsible for providing
funding for resources and services for offenders to reenter society. Furthermore, I will provide my
opinion on whether offenders should have a second chance and why.
Second Chance Act of 2007 Overview
On April 8, 2008, President Bush signed into law H.R. 1593, the "Second Chance Act of 2007".
The law meant that the government would now fund government agencies and nonprofit organizations
to provide employment assistance, substance abuse treatment, housing, mental health treatment,
victim support, and other services to individuals returning to the community from prison or jail. Bush
(2008),“The bill I'm signing today, the Second Chance Act of 2007, will build on work to help prisoners
reclaim their lives. In other words, it basically says: We're standing with you, not against you (President
Bush Signs H.R. 1593, the Second Chance Act of 2007). “It is hard to rate this law's success because there
are several factors to consider such age, race, gender, and many others. Some offenders could have
successfully gained employment but not receive the mental health treatment they needed; therefore, it
is complex to measure success. As mentioned in According to the "National Institute of Justice "(2018),
“The provision of reentry programming, specifically SCA programs and services, remains a work in
progress. Offender behavior and the reentry process are complex. Just as no two individuals are alike,
neither are their needs” (Lessons Learned from the Second Chance Act: Moving Forward to Strengthen
Offender Reentry).
