April 2009
In their first six months as TJC sites, Denver, Colorado, and Douglas County, Kansas, have been working steadily to build the foundation for their respective jail to community transition initiatives. Each jurisdiction has clarified the mission and vision of local jail to community transition efforts, developed governance structures and engaged new partners, used local data to take stock of their current situation, and begun comprehensive strategic planning to guide their efforts going forward.
With the work of the first two TJC sites well underway, the National Institute of Corrections and the Urban Institute will soon be selecting four additional TJC sites that will receive training and technical assistance to adapt and implement the TJC model in their jurisdictions. The four new TJC sites will be selected through an open call for applications. The application will be available online starting May 1 and submissions are due by June 15, 2009.
September 2008
The National Institute of Corrections and the Urban Institute are pleased to announce the selection of the first TJC pilot sites: Denver, Colorado, and Douglas County, Kansas. These jurisdictions will serve as learning sites for the TJC approach, helping the TJC team evaluate and refine the model. Kickoff meetings with local stakeholders will be held at both sites in Fall 2008 to formally launch the TJC efforts.
