The Modules Module 1: Getting Started Module 2: Leadership, Vision, and Organizational Culture Module 3: Collaborative Structure and Joint Ownership Module 4: Data-Driven Understanding of Local Reentry Module 5: Targeted Intervention Strategies Module 6: Screening and Assessment Module 7: Transition Plan Development Module 8: Targeted Transition Interventions Module 9: Self-Evaluation and Sustainability

4. Purpose of the Toolkit Introduce the TJC Model and initiative. Help begin the process of implementing a reentry initiative in your community. Foster an understanding of the key elements necessary to implement the TJC model. Explain basic TJC concepts and terms. Provide resources for jail administrators, community providers, elected officials, and other stakeholders. Leverage community stakeholder support for the model by outlining the central role of the community in local reentry.

20. Section 4: Mining Your Data Randy Demory of the Kent County Sheriff’s Office in Michigan has these data mining recommendations.1 1. Plan Ahead: Centralize all of your data analysis efforts for easy retrieval, and designate a skilled person or a data team to handle all data requests. You will want to provide your data team with tools to pull data from the MIS in an easy-to-manipulate format that allows for the creation of basic tables like cross tabs.

21. Module 5 Targeted Intervention Strategies 3 sections: 1. A Triage Approach to Targeted Interventions 2. The Risk-Need-Responsivity Model for Assessment and Rehabilitation 3. Terms Used in the Field

22. Section 1. A Triage Approach to Targeted Interventions • Complete the Triage Matrix Implementation Tool. • Apply screening instruments to all jail entrants. • Apply risk/needs assessment instrument(s) to selected jail entrants. • Produce transition case plans for selected jail entrants. • Define the scope and content of jail transition interventions currently in place. • Provide resource packets to all jail inmates upon release. • Deliver in-jail interventions to selected inmates. • Deliver community interventions to selected released inmates. • Provide case management to selected jail entrants. • Provide mentors to selected individuals.

23. Section 2. The Risk-Need-Responsivity Model for Assessment and Rehabilitation 1. Risk principle. Match the level of service to the offender’s risk of reoffending, based on static factors (e.g., age at first arrest, gender) and dynamic factors (e.g., substance abuse, antisocial attitudes). High-risk offenders should receive more intensive intervention. 2. Need principle. Assess criminogenic needs and target them in treatment. High-risk offenders should receive intensive treatment, while low-risk offenders should receive minimal or no treatment. 3. Responsivity principle. Maximize the offender’s ability to learn from a rehabilitative intervention by providing cognitive behavioral treatment and tailoring the intervention to the learning style, motivation, abilities, and strengths of the offender.

27. Section 2: Transition Plan Content • The transition plan template (click here) reflects the minimum requirements of an effective transition plan. Our purpose is not to recommend any one transition plan, but instead to provide you with a transition plan template you can modify based on your jurisdiction’s needs. However, as discussed in the previous section, each plan must identify the types of interventions an individual needs, when and where interventions should occur, and by whom.

29. Section 1: Identifying Your Present Interventions Conducting a case flow analysis 4. Community-Based Treatment Key Questions • When inmates transition to the community, are they linked to the same providers they saw in the jail? • For individuals needing multiple services, who coordinates services across providers? • Do programmatic initiatives within the community match similar initiatives offered within the jail? • Is there good coordination between jail and community management and staff? • Does jail treatment or transition staff “reach out” to community providers to assist community programs and enhance program continuity? • What is the referral process? • Does programmatic information flow to and from community providers? • How are data collected on this process? • What are the major gaps in providing transitional service from the jail to the community at present? • What are the strengths of the current interagency collaborations?
