SECOND CHANCE ACT
The Second Chance Act (SCA) is the largest source of federal funding to help people reenter their communities after jail or prison and break incarceration cycles. Since its passage in 2008, the SCA has fueled significant drops in recidivism—saving governments money, keeping neighborhoods safer, and helping people lead healthy and meaningful lives.
