Returned Citizens

The “Returned Citizens” tag features in-depth stories and reporting about people who have come home after incarceration and are navigating the complex path of reentry. These narratives go beyond statistics to highlight the personal experiences, challenges, and successes of individuals working to rebuild their lives. WYSO covers a broad range of topics affecting returned citizens—including access to housing and employment, overcoming social stigma, involvement in community advocacy, and the impact of criminal justice policies. Through thoughtful journalism and firsthand accounts, this tag amplifies the voices of those striving for second chances and systemic change in the justice system.
