Reentry in the U.S. is a complicated and multifaceted issue with many challenges facing justice-involved individuals. In collaboration with Legendary Legacies, our team developed a new approach to evaluating data in the reentry space. While historically, data collected regarding program participants have been primarily quantitative, the secret to fostering positive change may lay in the qualitative aspects of a person's character. Through interviews with Legendary Legacies' staff, our team identified the 15 most pertinent themes to investigate, including emotional expression, trust, and punctuality. With this information, we proposed a new way to track "success" for individuals post-incarceration.
