This means that one out of every 136 people in the U.S. is currently in jail or prison. The astronomical growth of incarceration in the U.S. over the past 25 years has created a wide range of social challenges, not least of which is how to respond to formerly incarcerated people upon their re-entry into the community. In 2005, Partnership for Safety and Justice (then know as Western Prison Project) began an intentional exploration of the range of civil barriers formerly incarcerated people face. We realized that not nearly enough attention is being paid to this critical set of issues. After a lengthy process of interviews, focus groups, and research, we have produced Access Denied in Oregon, a 12-page report on barriers faced by people with a past felony conviction. Access Denied in Oregon is by no means a comprehensive overview of the roadblocks to re-entry after prison. Rather, this report is designed to share some of the information we have collected with an emphasis on the key barriers identified by our survey and focus group participants.
