Engaging Offenders’ Families in Reentry
In 2007, the Center for Effective Public Policy and its partners, the Urban Institute and the Carey Group, were selected by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance to serve as the training and technical assistance providers to the Fiscal Year 2007 Prisoner Reentry Initiative grantees. The project team served in this capacity from April 2008 to June 2010.
As a part of its duties, the Center developed a series of tools to assist grantees in specific areas of their reentry work. The final products of this work include eleven Coaching Packets in three series. These Coaching Packets offer practical value beyond the jurisdictions involved in this initiative and are available to criminal justice professionals and their partners interested in enhancing their strategies for reducing recidivism and improving offender outcomes.
• Series 1 provides a blueprint for an effective offender reentry system. This series provides a conceptual framework for addressing prisoner reentry at the policy level; outlines a strategic planning process to support implementation efforts; and explores the establishment of successful collaborative partnerships at the policy and case management levels.
• Series 2 addresses key issues related to the delivery of evidence-based services to offenders. This series summarizes the key literature with regard to implementing evidence-based practices; explores advances in approaches to case management; addresses the important role of staff in changing offender behavior; and summarizes research and practice as it relates to working with women offenders, engaging families, and mentoring.
• Series 3 provides guidance and tools to ensure that reentry efforts achieve their intended outcomes. This series describes methods to @#$%& the effectiveness of reentry efforts and offers strategies for achieving continuous quality improvement.
The Engaging Offenders’ Families in Reentry Coaching Packet focuses on a strength-based, family-focused approach to offender management. Included in this packet are sections on:
• The Effects of Incarceration on Families
• Families as a Natural Resource for Enhancing Reentry Efforts
• Research on Families and Family Support in Reentry Efforts
• Engaging Families as Part of an Evidence-Based Approach to Offender Reentry
• Implementing a Strength-Based, Family-Focused Approach
