Welcome to Targeted Transition Interventions. This module concentrates on the development and implementation of appropriate jail transitional strategies and follow-up services in the community.
Your jurisdiction’s targeted interventions may range from comprehensive programs that transition the individual from the jail to the community, to resource packets and referrals to community-based providers.
Some interventions will occur in jail, while others will take place in the community after release. Ideally, many interventions will be available both in and outside the jail facility—beginning in jail and continuing with a community-based provider after the individual’s release, facilitating greater continuity of service delivery.
Correctional administrators need to pay attention to the different mechanisms by which individuals come into their custody, how long they will stay, and how they will be released, and design appropriate reentry interventions, programs, and practices to address their transitional needs and different correctional settings. Indeed the challenge for correctional administrators is that they can’t choose one “franchised” reentry program; instead, they will need to craft a strategy that makes sense for their correctional system and community
