Help Support Successful Reentry with ARCAID

Posted on 06/20/2025

Does your school serve individuals recently released from incarceration? Or would you like to? If so, make sure you're listed on ARCAID—the Automated Rehabilitative Catalog and Information Discovery system.

Developed by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), ARCAID is a secure, user-friendly directory designed to support successful reentry. It provides a one-stop searchable database of essential services, such as housing, education, employment, transportation, and treatment resources. ARCAID is available to:

  • Currently incarcerated individuals
  • People on parole or Post Release Community Supervision
  • Friends and family of incarcerated individuals

By listing your school in ARCAID, you can make it easier for individuals navigating reentry to find and connect with your programs and services.
