21. Re- Entry Update One area where the State must work smarter has to do with those who are incarcerated. Far too many of them, upon release, re-offend, thus costing the citizens of Delaware more expenses for re-arrest, re-adjudication, re-incarceration. In response to this issue, the Governor charged me with leading an initiative for a smarter approach to working with the incarcerated population. This initiative has been logically labeled as the Prison Re-Entry Initiative.
