* Definitions

• 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 (for example, multiple juvenile and/or adult arrests, multiple 5150s, convictions with or without short jail stays and/or with or without court mandated supervision, etc.).

Chico State Project Rebound uses terminology adapted from UC Berkeley Underground Scholars and San Francisco State Project Rebound. While those sentenced to a carceral institution can also be system involved, Chico State Project Rebound's funding is based on organizing participants in one category.
