Reentry Bridge Network, Inc. (RBN), an Ohio-based national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has been designing and facilitating non-traditional reentry initiative programs, special events, and community service projects inside Ohio prisons since 2006. Carol E. Briney, RBN executive director, founded RBN to provide pre- and post-release development and networking for offenders and their families in order to effect a smooth, succesful transition or bridge into the community outside the walls.  RBN is committed to accomplishing this purpose by providing advancement, development, and networking in the areas of education, community, mentorship, employment, housing, transportation, arts, holistic health, family unification, and spirituality.

In 2010, RBN opened a local reentry-focused center in downtown Canton, Ohio, on the corner of 6th NE and Walnut Ave.  The center was created to have a physical central location  for the targeted population of moderate to higher-risk ex-offenders and their families, and the families of the incarcerated to go for dynamic, population-specific programming and unity.
