PRO MO TING THE E FFECT IVE REIN TEG RA TIO N OF OFFEN DE RS BA CK TO C O MM UNI TIES
UPO N RELEASE FROM P RISON AN D JAI L
Reentry involves the use of programs targeted at promoting the effective reintegration of exoffenders back to communities upon release from prison and jail while maintaining public safety. Reentry programming, which often involves a comprehensive case management approach, is intended to assist ex-offenders in acquiring the life skills needed to succeed in the community and become law-abiding citizens. A variety of programs are used to assist exoffenders in the reentry process, including prerelease programs, drug rehabilitation and vocational training and work programs.
The purpose of Reentry in Palm Beach County is to connect returning citizens from our local
Palm Beach County Jail, the Florida Department of Corrections, and the Federal Bureau of
Prisons to necessary services. These services may include several strategies used by existing initiatives which are applicable to reentry as well. They include mental health treatment, employment assistance, substance abuse prevention, housing, welfare, faith-based, family reunification, and transportation services.
The Palm Beach County Reentry Initiative is supported by the Palm Beach Criminal Justice
Commission through the Reentry Task Force.
The task force is responsible for implementing the Palm Beach County Strategic Plan for
Reentry. They provide comprehensive case management and job development programming. Other services include: job readiness training; job placement; computer skills training; transportation; drivers license restoration and restoration of civil rights. The fulltime Job Finder and Paralegal round out the cadre of services which provide programming to the entire county.
In 2012, employment and on-the-job training programming will be further developed. An application has been submitted to the
Department of Justice for the Second Chance
Grant for a second year of project funding.
This grant will allow for an expansion of services and collaboration with the Florida
Department of Corrections.
The Palm Beach County Reentry Project is contingent upon maintaining and developing partnerships with government departments at the federal, state, and local levels; social service agencies; community and faith-based organizations; private sector businesses; and residents.
