The Annual Reentry Conference will be held on Holy Thursday, April 17, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. at St. Peter's University (MacMahon Student Center). Executive Director Jim McGreevey stated, 'Women are historically in a worse position than men in the criminal justice system. Many women have suffered domestic violence, sexual abuse, or human trafficking. After prolonged periods of trauma, women respond to their attacker, particularly after physical and verbal threats are made to their children. and who react to their attacker are revictimized by the legal system.' About 72% of the first-time female offenders convicted of violent crimes at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women had previously been abused by the victim of the crime for which they were serving their sentences, according to the March 2023 Report of the New Jersey Criminal Sentencing & Disposition Commission.
