Overview of the Reentry Tool (RT): The Reentry Tool (RT) is designed to be used with the supervisees prior to release from prison. The instrument is designed to be administered through file review and a structured interview, although some items can be obtained through a self-report questionnaire. The RT consists of current age of the supervisee and 18 additional items across three domains.

As elaborated later in this guide, each item is scored using specific criteria and the scores can range from 0 to 2, depending on the item. The final score is a summed product of each of the individual items creating a range between 0-28. The higher the score, the greater the risk of reoffending. The following cut off scores and failure rates have been established for this instrument.
