Description:
The purpose of this program is to promote the safe and successful community reintegration of adults who have been incarcerated by supporting nonprofit organizations and Indian tribes seeking to implement or expand on reentry programs that demonstrate strong partnerships with corrections, parole, probation, law enforcement, and other reentry service providers. These partnerships should enhance efforts to meet the needs of individuals aged 18 or older who were convicted as an adult and are at medium- to high-risk to reoffend, as determined by validated criminogenic risk assessments. Participants are expected to be screened, assessed, and identified for program participation pre-release. During the post-release phase of the reentry program, participants will receive case management services and be connected to evidence-based programming designed to ensure that the transition from prison or jail to the community is safe and successful.
