Phase 2 Collaborations are needed during Phase 2 of the re-entry process. Partnerships are formed to develop reentry/discharge plans detailing individualized strategies for addressing the key features of the structured reentry process:
A return to society must be planned. It is unfair to expect a formally incarcerated person to leave a structured environment and then suddenly told to fend for him or herself without guidance, without a plan, without an ally. Rates of recidivism are highest within six months following the initial release. As many as two of every three fail to successfully re-integrate into the community within three years following release. During this stage, sensitive and often intense counseling is needed to ease a formerly incarcerated in a new fast paced environment in which many are ill prepared to function. *Note that counseling services offered by Citizens include one-on-one sessions with men who have anger management or domestic violence issues by appointment only. These services are designed to help men break their abusive cycle. |
