*Chico State Project Rebound uses definitions adapted from UC Berkeley Underground Scholars and San Francisco State Project Rebound. While those sentenced to a carceral institution can also be system involved and/or system impacted, Project Rebound's funding is based on organizing participants in one category.
Formerly Incarcerated - includes those who have been sentenced and served time in a carceral institution (prison, immigration detention centers, local jails, juvenile detention centers, etc.) and are now released.
System involved - includes those who have been involved in the carceral system but have not been sentenced to a carceral institution or who have spent short amounts of time there. For example, those with multiple juvenile and/or adult arrests, multiple 5150s, convictions with or without short jail stays and/or with or without court-mandated supervision, etc.
System impacted – includes those who live in a household where one or more family members or loved ones have been or are still incarcerated (parent, sibling, husband/wife, other relative, etc.).
