Our Re-Entry program helps inmates successfully transition back to the community and
reduces recidivism.
The overall goal is to create release plans for inmates
directly linked to housing, food, benefits, employment, education, and
treatment. (The plans are individualized to specifically meet the needs of
each inmate.)
So far, our program is small.
We currently have one staff member creating release plans for
inmates. With such a small staffing footprint, we are doing our best
to meet the needs of all who are eligible.
Our hope is that, in the
future, we will grow into a larger staffed program providing needs
assessment and goal setting services to more and more inmates who
come to our jail, and also provide more intensive goal tracking for those
inmates who are already back in our community.
