Strategies for Reintegration/Reentry ProgrammingKey Dimensions of Promising Practice
1. Evidence-based, research-driven intervention/ treatment modalities (“What Works” approach)
2. Structural characteristics and features for transitional/reentry delivery of services and supervision (Reintegrative Continuum)
3. Personnel/leadership/training Issues
4. Case management framework (essential elements for informed decision making, continuity, and consistency across the programming continuum)
5. Requirement for multi-agency collaboration

Program Design Features in the Three Segments
Institutional Phase Transitional Phase Community Follow-up
1. Pre-release planning 1. Testing & probing of re-entry prior to placement in community
1. Provision of multi-modal treatment services
2. Involvement of outside agencies & individuals in institutions
2. Structured step-down process using residential placement or intensive day treatment
2. Discrete case management services
3. Targeted community activities during confinement period
3. Use of graduated sanctions & positive incentives
4. Provision of supervision & surveillance beyond ordinary working hours
5. Reduced caseload size & increased frequency of client contact
6. Multi-stage decompression process

Case Management:5 Components
• Assessment and Classification
• Individual Case Planning
• Surveillance/Service Mix
• Incentives and Consequences (Graduated Responses)
• Brokerage and Linkages
![Page 17: JUVENILE REENTRY IN CONCEPT AND PRACTICE February 2, 2010 David M. Altschuler, Ph.D. Institute for Policy Studies Johns Hopkins University Models for Change](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d0d5503460f949e1aae/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Assessment and Classification
• Eligibility: targeting populations
• Static Factors
• Dynamic/Criminogenic Factors
![Page 18: JUVENILE REENTRY IN CONCEPT AND PRACTICE February 2, 2010 David M. Altschuler, Ph.D. Institute for Policy Studies Johns Hopkins University Models for Change](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d0d5503460f949e1aae/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Individual Case Planning
• How will risk factors be addressed?
• How are strengths and assets tied to social networks?
• How will personal goals be structured?
• How will the total picture be addressed in reintegration?
![Page 19: JUVENILE REENTRY IN CONCEPT AND PRACTICE February 2, 2010 David M. Altschuler, Ph.D. Institute for Policy Studies Johns Hopkins University Models for Change](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d0d5503460f949e1aae/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Individual Case Planning
• High risk – high needs
• High levels of accountability
• High levels of service provision
![Page 20: JUVENILE REENTRY IN CONCEPT AND PRACTICE February 2, 2010 David M. Altschuler, Ph.D. Institute for Policy Studies Johns Hopkins University Models for Change](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d0d5503460f949e1aae/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Surveillance and Service Mix
• Advances in diagnostic procedures
• Intensive Supervision Issues
• Carefully targeted service provision & treatment matching
![Page 21: JUVENILE REENTRY IN CONCEPT AND PRACTICE February 2, 2010 David M. Altschuler, Ph.D. Institute for Policy Studies Johns Hopkins University Models for Change](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d0d5503460f949e1aae/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Graduated Responses:Incentives and Consequences
• Catch them being good
• Have a ready continuum of reinforcements and sanctions
Key Principles:
![Page 22: JUVENILE REENTRY IN CONCEPT AND PRACTICE February 2, 2010 David M. Altschuler, Ph.D. Institute for Policy Studies Johns Hopkins University Models for Change](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d0d5503460f949e1aae/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Graduated Responses:Incentives and Consequences
• Planned responses
• Behavioral contracts
• Shift responsibilities to youth and family
• Continuum of responses
• Must have most stringent sanction available

Service Brokerage and Linkage to Social Systems
• Contractual arrangements: accessing public and private services
• Partnerships with community-based organizations
• Community linkage and embeddedness
• Faith-based groups
![Page 24: JUVENILE REENTRY IN CONCEPT AND PRACTICE February 2, 2010 David M. Altschuler, Ph.D. Institute for Policy Studies Johns Hopkins University Models for Change](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d0d5503460f949e1aae/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Obstacles to Case Management
• Inadequate Funding
• Institution Based Resources
• Large Case Loads/Low Staffing
• Established Work Hours and Habits
• Poor Supervision Standards
• Insufficient Attention to Pre-Release Issues
• Distance Between Institution and Community
• Professional and Organizational Rigidity
• Crisis-Driven Management
![Page 25: JUVENILE REENTRY IN CONCEPT AND PRACTICE February 2, 2010 David M. Altschuler, Ph.D. Institute for Policy Studies Johns Hopkins University Models for Change](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d0d5503460f949e1aae/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Implications/Solutions
• Directly link institutional and community corrections:
Structure Policy Programs Practices
• Keep deterrence in check when it creates identifiable impediments to law-abiding self-sufficiency
