The national directory for
probation, parole & reentry services
OACRA is a private, independent justice-tech platform built to reduce fragmentation in probation, parole, and reentry by organizing **verified service providers** and **reentry-focused programs** into one nationwide system. All 50 U.S. states plus Washington, DC are covered.
Educational awareness & organization only — not legal advice.
A nationwide system — not just a directory
Probation, parole, and reentry have historically operated through fragmented local lists, word-of-mouth referrals, and inconsistent information. OACRA centralizes this ecosystem into a single national access point for individuals, providers, researchers, and policymakers.

Are you a service provider?
Court-accepted programs and reentry-focused services are encouraged to list on OACRA so probation, parole, and reentry are no longer fragmented across disconnected systems.
Listing on OACRA does not imply endorsement or guarantee court approval. Providers set their own eligibility, fees, and documentation requirements.
