Description : This study utilized life story interviews with 21 formerly incarcerated individuals to examine the role vocational reentry programming played in the desistance process. A thematic analysis revealed that programming assisted individuals who were either open to lifestyle changes or committed to pro-social lifestyle improvements prior to beginning programming. Findings also revealed participants committed to desistance isolated themselves from anti-social peers, found social support through the programs, overcame employment barriers through programming, and held resilient and optimistic attitudes in changing their identities and behavioral trajectories. We conclude with a discussion on how the findings can inform desistance theory and reentry policy.
