Author: Lindquist, Christine Title: The National Institute of Justice's Evaluation of Second Chance Act Adult Reentry Courts: Lessons Learned about Reentry Court Program Implementation and Sustainability Summary: This report presents final implementation findings based on three years of process evaluation site visits for the National Institute of Justice's (NIJ's) Evaluation of Second Chance Act Adult Reentry Courts (NESCAARC). The NESCAARC study was funded by NIJ in 2010 and includes a process evaluation, impact evaluation, and cost-effectiveness study of eight adult reentry courts, seven of which were funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) in FY 2010 and one of which was funded in 2009 under the Second Chance Act (SCA) 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199). In this report, we describe the NESCAARC sites at the time of their final year of federal funding, highlighting the context in which the programs were operating and key modifications over time. In addition, we outline lessons learned in developing organizational partnerships needed to operate reentry courts, staffing considerations, selecting and recruiting the target population, designing and implementing program components, and coordinating service delivery for reentry court populations. The report also presents findings on sustainability strategies undertaken by the NESCAARC sites and highlights systems-level changes attributed to the grant. The primary data source for the current report is semi-structured interviews conducted during three rounds of site visits (2011-2014) with program staff and representatives from partnering agencies in seven reentry courts. Across the sites, interviews were held with all staff and organizational partners who were involved in the reentry court program; including program directors and coordinators, judges, court administrators, case managers, service providers (counselors, other line staff, and agency heads), data specialists or local evaluators, supervision officers (and supervisors), and, in some sites, defense attorneys and prosecutors. The interviews, conducted by the evaluation team in person during site visits, were approximately 1 hour each. Topics included program operations (e.g., screening, eligibility, and enrollment; program requirements and components delivered, including court hearings, drug testing, case management, supervision, services; responses to compliance and noncompliance), "treatment as usual" for reentering individuals in the jurisdictions, implementation challenges and solutions, lessons learned, and sustainability.
