2 results foundAuthor: Fontaine, Jocelyn Title: Impact of Family-Inclusive Case Management on Reentry Outcomes: Interim Report on the Safer Return Demonstration Evaluation Summary: This interim report details the first two years of the Urban Institute’s evaluation of the family-inclusive case management component of the Safer Return Demonstration—a reentry program based in Chicago’s Garfield Park neighborhood. The report presents the logic of the case management model and summarizes family members and formerly incarcerated persons experiences and perceptions, based on interviews and focus groups. In general, family members were highly supportive of returning prisoners and, despite a typically disadvantaged socioeconomic status, provided substantial material support to their returning family members, particularly housing. The implications of these findings for the Demonstration and reentry planning are discussed. Details: Washington, DC: Urban Institute, Justice Policy Center, 2011. 30p.

Author: Fontaine, Jocelyn Title: Safer Return Demonstration: Impact Findings from a Research-Based Community Reentry Initiative Summary: The Safer Return demonstration, funded by the MacArthur Foundation, intended to promote successful reentry by addressing key individual needs, introducing system reforms, and improving local conditions in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood. To understand whether the demonstration met its intended goals, Urban designed a quasi-experimental impact evaluation that included: multiple waves of survey data from community residents, former prisoners, and their family members; program and cost data from Safer Return service providers; and administrative corrections and employment records. Safer Return participation was associated with significant reductions in returns to prison (chiefly due to technical violation reductions) and significant increases in employment/wages.
