Faced with a huge demand for jail reentry services the DOC sought a way to target social services and treatment toward those who most needed support to address problems that contributed to their involvement with the justice system. SUMH researchers used information that the DOC maintained in its administrative data systems to develop a tool to assess people’s risk of recidivism—the Service Priority Indicator (SPI). The SPI draws information on charge, age, and prior jail admissions to assign everyone entering the jail to one of five service priority levels. A validation of the SPI found that 84 percent of those in the highest service-priority category were re-incarcerated within a year of release compared to 24 percent of those at the lowest service-priority level. The DOC is currently using the SPI to inform its decisions about who gets reentry services, as it implements its new, innovative discharge planning process.
