The Case for Individualized Reentry Plans for Individuals with Disabilities with Sharif Brown
Fri Aug 15 2025
In part two, Sharif discussed effective ways to address the often-overlooked challenges faced by individuals with disabilities during reentry. Sharif makes a compelling case for why individualized reentry plans are not just beneficial, but necessary, for supporting successful reintegration.
One-size-fits-all approaches often fail to meet the nuanced needs of people with disabilities who are exiting incarceration. Sharif brings both professional insight and personal passion to the topic, advocating for a justice system that recognizes the diverse needs of every individual.
