The program began enrolling women into services in March 2010 and ran through April 2012. While the program ended in April 2012, some components of the program continue through to the present. Rochester, New York has a population of 210,565, of which 42% of the population is Black or African American and 16% is of Hispanic or Latino descent (US Census, 2010). Rochester is faced with issues similar to those of urban areas across the nation. Issues such as high rates of criminal justice supervision, vacant housing, teen pregnancy and low graduation rates plague the City of Rochester. Further, 38% of children under the age of 12 live in poverty in Rochester, making it ranked the 11th highest city in the nation for child poverty (Children's Agenda, n.d.). Monroe County receives about 6,000 men and women returning from federal, state and local incarceration yearly (Judicial Process Commission, personal communication, June 17, 2013). This program receives participants mostly from the Monroe Correctional Facility (MCF), located in Brighton New York, which houses 475 sentenced inmates. The Monroe County Jail (MCJ) is a pre-trial detention facility located in Rochester, which houses about 1,000 inmates, only a few of which have been sentenced. While the annual jail population is about 14,000 total, on any given day, the two facilities house about 1,400 inmates. Of the 14,000 held, about one third was sentenced. In 2010, there were 2,580 women incarcerated, of which 876 were sentenced (19% of the total sentenced population). A daily average of 45 sentenced females was in the MCF/MCJ in 2010. This program works exclusively with a population which has historically been ignored in the criminal justice system: females. Female offenders are an extremely vulnerable population (Kubiak, Young, Siefert, & Stewart, 2004; Schroeder & Bell, 2005; Knight & Plugge, 2005; Wiewel & Mosley, 2006). This program sought to work closely with this at risk population in order to provide intensive case management services that would position the participants to make informed life decisions, while being supported in the process.
