Historically, individuals released from correctional facilities throughout the United States, including Kansas, were provided with only limited post-release services, generally in the form of criminal justice supervision. While incarcerated, these inmates may have had access to some rehabilitative services; at release, however, access to services became the ex-offender’s responsibility, one often frustrated by the stigma of being a convicted felon. In 2001, with the support of seven federal agencies, the Shawnee County Reentry Program (SCRP) was conceived, ultimately offering a continuum of services to inmates 12-18 months prior to their release from prison and extending for an additional six months during their return to Shawnee County. Among the services offered by the SCRP are: facility-based classes, intensive case management, employment and housing assistance, mentorship, police liaison services, and an accountability panel that provides guidance on the release plan and the challenges of reintegrating into society. After three years, certain SCRP participant outcomes were analyzed against a comparison group of individuals who were eligible for SCRP but who chose not to participate, and another group of incarcerated individuals matched on similar descriptive features but who were releasing to another county. Despite challenges with participant retention and data collection, the findings from this evaluation evidence support for the efficacy of this reentry initiative. Whether due to specific interventions or to the constant presence of support remains to be determined; however, the findings point to an unmistakable conclusion: the longer an individual spends in the reentry program, the better that individual fares on a variety of measures.
