Offender Reentry

The criminal justice system is inextricably linked to health and social well-being.  Among many other things, the Affordable Care Act caused states to allow people recently released from incarceration to be covered by Medicaid.  In some states, Illinois, for example, about 50% of the increase in the Medicaid population following the enactment of Medicaid policies under the ACA were offenders previously not eligible for Medicaid health coverage.  

People returning to society after incarceration face tremendous challenges.  The opportunity to engage with people to provide re-entry services in concert with healthcare, recovery, housing and employment services is an opportunity with tremendous potential.

Offender Reentry Care Unit Analysis

Research shows that certain programs and approaches to supervision can change some people’s criminal behaviors and help them succeed upon release from incarceration. The purpose of this project is to consider how online and mobile technology may facilitate and enhance existing correctional models for assessment and treatment of behavioral health needs and risks for people re-entering the community after coming out of prisons and jails. The objectives will be to Improve “recovery capital,” a measure of resources that one can draw on to initiate and maintain recovery, including inner strength (e.g., beliefs, faith, personal commitment to recover), resources and sources of support and strength from the outside, Lower the rate of recidivism, Lower the rate of substance use among this vulnerable population. This analysis will focus less on the criminal justice role including probation and more on the behavioral and community health role in support of re-entry.
