- If your initiative/program serves people under community corrections supervision, how does your organization work in partnership or work in collaboration with participants’ probation or parole officers?
- We have an active referral system with both community correctional facilities in our county. The program also has a mentoring program based in one of the community correctional facilities. We work with the local Criminal Justice Center (jail) and bi-weekly we go to the jail and connect with those inmates pre-release and set them up with aftercare treatment and continue to work with them post-release. The 4th Judical Probation Department also has an active referral system with the SET Clinic. Most of the probation officers utilize the program and incorporate the program into their supervison plans with their clients. Adult parole remains in contact with the clinic and also refers individuals who need our services.
Data Collection
- Does your organization collect demographic data on participants?
- Yes
- If "yes", what kind of data? And what results has this data yielded?
- Gender Age Ethnicity referral source Recidivism rates vocational/employment data Housing data current status (parole, probation, etc.) We hold quarterly Community Network Meetings with over 50 organizations, the information we collect helps us to find out what barriers exisit for the clients and together we try to remove those barriers. By collecting this data we are able to know where our population are residing and what services they need in order to transition back to the community smoothly.
- Does your organization collect data about the process of your initiative/program?
- Yes
- If "yes", what kind of data? And what results has this data yielded?
- We track what services we can offer for our clients as well as what services are non-existant in the commuity. During the intake phase of the clients enrollment staff will sit down with the clients and triage what services are needed and what services we can help with.
- Does your organization measure and/or track the outcome of participation?
- Yes
- If "yes", what kind of data? And what results has this data yielded?
- To date by staying in contact with our clients we have been able to document an 8% recidivism rate amonst our clients. We were able to see the correlation between unemployment and recidivism as well as the correlation between treatment availability and the recidivism rates decreaseing.
Activities
- What, if any, activities does your initiative/program include for people while they are incarcerated and how do these activities differ from those offered to the general population?
- We connect with as many inmates pre- release to build a relationship with them. Once we know when their release date will be we will set them up with a medical appointment, mental health appointment, or connect them with a mentor in the community to assist them with their life essential needs. We are the only free medical clinic in our community with a program that targets the ex-offender population.
- What activities does your organization engage in post-release and how do these activities differ from those offered to the general population?
- Once the individual is released we offer a mentoring program which includes a clearinghouse of information on reentry programs in the community. These wrap around services are available to all ex-offenders enrolled in our program. We bring together different organizations to build a one stop shop for individuals to access the services and teach them how to self advocate for services in the community.
