"... thousands incarcerated do not belong there and many who exit return before long - a phenomenon which erodes the tax base and force expenditures that can be put to better use. This condition will only exacerbate as our veterans return home..." Sobem Nwoko, President, Joyfields Institute.
With
these considerations its no surprise that citizens and policy makers
are holding agencies accountable for adopting programs and
practices that get desired results - stemming the incarceration tide
and also reducing offender recidivism. So what are some of
the considerations you are faced with in your jurisdiction as you
develop and implement your reentry effort?
Addressing challenges associated with returning veterans?
Implementing a veterans' court initiative?
Planning, developing or evolving evidence-based reentry and reintegration processes / continuum for your jurisdiction?
Determining what evidence-based programs to adopt for your reentry initiatives.
Implementing an evidence-based reentry schedule
Collaborating and working with stakeholders engaged or disengaged in the reentry continuum
- Design of how to engage the support of your executives in the endevour
Adopting evidence-based methodologies for measuring performance and outcomes achieved and how such data to sustain your program
If any of these fit into what you are trying to accomplish, we invite you to join us in Las Vegas, Nevada for the 5th Annual "Community Reentry" Workshops & Conference this April 25 - 27. This much-anticipated event is designed to help professionals enhance reentry efforts through the confident application of evidence-based and strength-centered practices.
Given
the aggressive measures governments must take to deal with
sky-rocketing incarceration costs and its legal implications, agencies
must be better
prepared. Join us to learn current and future trends in evidence-based
approaches of how to proactively handle these challenges.
