About Us<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning in 2012 as the Boston Release Network (BRN), the organization was an informal network of individuals dedicated to successfully reintegrating into the Boston community those with a sexually-related conviction. In 2018, having success not just in Boston but throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, we rebranded as the Baystate Reentry Network<\/strong>, a board of directors was created, and the once informal network of peers became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization albeit remaining a volunteer network of peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRN is an essential resource for re-emerging citizens with a sexual conviction, providing valuable information critical to re-entry success in areas such as housing, employment, government assistance programs, and compliance with the statutory mandates of probation and registration laws.\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have found that once individuals are released and given appropriate guidance and resources, they find success and regain a role in society.\u00a0 Since our founding, BRN has enjoyed extraordinary success supporting re-emerging citizens – over 97% of our participants have transitioned successfully back into the community<\/strong> and have never been charged with a new offense. This is no accident, as statistics show that recidivism is reduced when there is a hands-on approach to re-entry and meaningful peer support is offered to individuals. BRN has provided services that have been key to successful transitions that give individuals hope for an improved future and life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
