Reentry Simulator
The Reentry Simulator provides participants with a hands-on experience that highlights the challenges faced by individuals reintegrating into society after incarceration. This immersive program offers an impactful glimpse into the realities confronting justice-involved individuals as they transition back to their communities each day.
The Summit Point Restorative Initiative wishes to extend its sincere gratitude to the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District of West Virginia for providing us with essential reentry materials.

By embracing the perspectives of others, we develop empathy, which facilitates significant transformation. This deeper understanding of the challenges and obstacles faced by individuals enhances our capacity to drive positive change.
Life Card
The activity is designed to simulate a month in the life of an individual recently released from prison as they navigate the challenges associated with their supervised release. Each week will be represented by a 15-minute session, allowing participants to engage with and understand the complexities of reintegrating into society while adhering to all mandated requirements.
Stations
Each participant is allocated 15 minutes to engage with a series of designated stations, including Probation Officer, Employment, Treatment, Bank, and Clinic. At each station, participants will draw a card that offers feedback on their progress. For instance, at the Probation Officer station, an individual may be required to undergo a drug test; the outcome—pass or fail—will be revealed by turning over the respective card. A positive test will send them back to court, and the risk of going to jail.
