Goals
The goals of both Category 1 and Category 2 programs are to promote positive youth outcomes and increase public safety by decreasing recidivism among youth following release from a juvenile residential facility and coming back to their community. For the purposes of this program, recidivism is defined as a return to a residential placement facility, jail, or prison with a new juvenile adjudication and/or criminal conviction or as the result of a violation of the terms of supervision within 24 months of initial release.
Objectives
- The objectives of Category 1 programs are to identify and address the needs of youth returning to the community and develop and implement comprehensive pre- and post-release reentry plans, to include case management as well as identification and coordination of appropriate community-based programs as they return to their communities following confinement.
- The objectives of Category 2 programs include the implementation and/or expansion of community-based reentry programs and services that demonstrate partnerships with corrections, parole, probation, and other reentry service providers. These partnerships should develop and implement comprehensive, pre- and post-release case management plans that directly address youth’s identified needs, as determined by validated risk and needs assessment tools.
