English translation:Local agency for prevention and social REHABILITATION
Explanation:
I agree with Marian that administrative can be left out. However, I think word rehabilation is crucial....Also, decentralized would never be used in English. It would simply be local, IMO.

decentralized [administrative] agency for prevention and reentry into society


Explanation:
almost agree with Michael, but not quite.

I assume the prevention pertains to recidivism.

I also suspect that administrative is superfluous, but it could also be left in.

Decentralized Agency for Prevention and Social Readaptation


Explanation:
Decentralized Agency for Prevention and Social Readaptation

Again, my own preference which is literal.

I'm not afraid of "Readaptation" even though my spell-checker does not like it.
