Another important aspect of the SAFER SD Reentry Initiative is the emphasis on family reunification.

Family reunification events provide offenders with increased opportunities for contact and interaction with their loved ones outside of the traditional visitation setting.

Family reunification events feature a variety of activities at DOC institutions. To ensure ongoing support for families of offenders, a schedule has been established with the goal of hosting one event per quarter at all facilities fostering stronger connections and promoting a sense of community among offenders and their families.
