  3. What have we learned? • Cannot do it alone • Collaborate, Cooperate, Communicate • Share information • Partner with community and other State organizations • Involve families or significant others in the planning • Target those presenting most risk to make the best use of limited resources

  5. Task Force on Prisoner Reentry • 2009 Maryland legislature passed HB 637 establishing a Task Force on Prisoner Re-entry • Membership consists of: • 18 appointees • 9 ex officio members • Additional invitees

  6. Task Force • Tasks include: • Review of idleness and programming within prisons • Identification of legal barriers and practice hurdles • Identify ways to pool resources and funding streams • Investigate best practices for short- and long-term outcome measurement • Develop comprehensive state-wide plan for re-entry

  7. Findings of Research and Performance Outcome Workgroup • Historical benchmark metric of recidivism may not be best and only measure • Rather, measuring data about dynamic risk factors in 7 specific need areas • Correctional and community agencies do not track or assess programs systematically • Both corrections and community partners need to fully embrace reentry as a core mission

  8. Next Steps • Corrections, public and private health, other community agencies take and keep responsibility for their role in reentry • Work on data collection and information sharing
