Reentry Resources

Virginia CURE supports and proposes legislation that supports reentry into the community from incarceration. As an advocacy organization, Virginia CURE does not provide services for reentry; however, there are many wonderful organization that can assist those in need. We are an organization that communicates directly with people incarcerated through letters, and then take their concerns to Legislators, VA Department of Corrections, and others to help create more effective programs, policies, and laws. We have and will always fight for the humane and ethical treatment of all people no matter what mistakes they have made. For more assistance with reentry, please visit the organizations below.
