We established a Reintegration Work Group to engage service providers, community leaders, academia and other stakeholders as equal partners. This group has clarified the services that are able to be offered in the reintegration center and transitional services that will be offered in the community. We have developed MOUs with community agencies who have committed to providing adult education. clinical and non-clinical programs, case management staff support, grant writing, and research.
We involved 2 community champions who have experienced addiction and the criminal justice system to promote meaningful involvement in the decision making process. Their involvement in planning has led to services being implemented in the women's pod of the county jail. Coaching community champions provided opportunities for them to participate in local and national trainings that helped them
to further develop their leadership skills. By listening
and learning, we have been introduced to new
programs as well.
The tools, resources and techniques we learned helped us to:
Kelly Gallagher, Patricia Gallegos, Pat Leahan,
and Yolanda Cruz;
began as part of a larger HIA team to address high rates of recidivism, violence, and addiction - including the economic burden and human costs of these to our community;
is focusing on the health effects of recidivism, violence, and addiction on people who are incarcerated and their families.
