This is an institutional program for incarcerated individuals in the process of transitioning into the community. The aim is to reduce recidivism and offer reentry services at the lowest cost.
The program consists of a brief, intensive intervention focusing on the main problems encountered when reentering the community: housing, employment, and treatment for drug abuse, and follows the following principles:
1) Treatment of dynamic (criminogenic) factors;
2) Cognitive behavioral or multimodal approaches and social and emotional skills training;
3) Individualized intervention proportional to the level of risk posed by the participant; and
4) A properly implemented intervention.
Participants receive family mediation services for family bonding, case management for reentry planning, and police monitoring by probation officers. The intervention lasts eight weeks.
