President Obama on Monday will announce new steps aimed at helping former prisoners reenter society, a key part of his push to overhaul the criminal justice system.

During a trip to Newark, N.J., Obama will lay out initiatives to help ex-inmates get jobs, housing and education and new grant money to help communities establish reentry programs.

The president plans to visit Integrity House, a substance abuse treatment center, where he will meet with convicted drug offenders trying to get their lives back on track. He is also hosting a roundtable discussion on criminal justice reform at Rutgers University-Newark.

"President Obama will continue to promote these goals by highlighting the reentry process of formerly-incarcerated individuals and announce new actions aimed at helping Americans who’ve paid their debt to society rehabilitate and reintegrate back into their communities," the White House said in a statement.
