Module 5: Targeted Intervention Strategies

Welcome to Targeted Intervention Strategies. This module provides an overview of targeted intervention strategies that are designed to improve the outcomes of people transitioning from jail to the community. This module also will explain how to use the Triage Matrix Implementation Tool to match offenders to the appropriate intervention and how to use the risk-need-responsivity model to increase the likelihood of success for those transitioning from jail to the community.

"Reentry is ultimately a local issue. Whether we like it or not, parolees are coming back into our communities. Once a parolee has returned, there is very little the Department of Corrections can do to improve his or her chance to successfully reintegrate into our community. All the critical needs have to be provided by our local community. And any new crimes committed by parolees adversely impact the public safety of our community. So it's in our best interest to help increase the probability of success for these parolees."
