Now, it is time to turn the page.”

Obama also will say that restoring the economy “must be our central mission as a people, and my central responsibility as President.”

Arianna Huffington: Glenn Beck, President Obama, and the Hunger for Purpose in Times of Transition

2010-08-31-capt.79912f69062f4cb4bcb9b99d51d165e079912f69062f4cb4bcb9b99d51d165e00.jpg

AP

Arianna Huffington: As a senator, Barack Obama spoke eloquently of Americans deciding that "their work, their possessions, their diversions, their sheer busyness, is not enough." But the hunger for a larger purpose in public life remains unfulfilled. And the big turnout at Glenn Beck's rally on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech is more evidence of this unmet yearning. Beck delivered a speech noticeably devoid of partisan rhetoric -- talking instead about values and morals and God and the power of individuals to change the world. In 2006, Obama warned that if progressives didn't "reach out to evangelical Christians and other religious Americans and tell them what we stand for," others would "fill the vacuum." In 2010, the president's stepping back from his promise to call us to a higher form of civic engagement means that a vacuum has been left during this historic moment of transition in America.

August 2010 National Reentry Resource Center





National Reentry Resources Center

Council of State Governments Justice Center

Supported by the Bureau of Justice Assistance

August 2010 National Reentry Resource Center Newsletter

Feature

Reentry at the Local Level

The challenges facing local governments in addressing jail reentry mirror many of the challenges facing state governments trying to address prison reentry. However, there are significant differences, too. According to the Urban Institute, jails house a more diverse array of offenders than prisons (e.g., individuals awaiting trial, conviction, or sentencing; individuals sentenced to less than a year; and probation and parole violators); individuals stay in a jail for a shorter period than individuals in prison (average jail incarceration is twenty-seven days for large jails, compared to an average prison incarceration of two-and-a-half years); the capacity of jails to address individual needs, including substance use, mental and physical health, housing and employment, is limited compared to prisons; jails are administered by cities or counties; and there is no community-based system designated to provide post-release services such as employment, housing, and mental health treatment. Despite these challenges, jails are uniquely situated to improve offender reentry outcomes and public safety by staging interventions at the individual level. The Urban Institute's Life After Lockup: Improving Reentry from Jail to the Community highlights five of these targets for intervention.

Recording Available of "Local Governments' Role in Reentry" Webinar

On August 26, 2010, the National Reentry Resource Center hosted a free webinar for local government officials interested in offender reentry. The webinar discussed the role of local government in reentry, how local government agencies can establish and sustain reentry efforts, and how these efforts affect local budgets. Reentry tools and resources available to local governments, such as the Urban Institute's Transition from Jail to Community Implementation Toolkit, were profiled.

This webinar was supported by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance. To view the archived version of the webinar, please click here. To download the PowerPoint slides used in the webinar, please click here.


Second Chance Act Grantee Profile

Grantee: San Mateo County, California
Grantee Type: Adult Demonstration
Location: San Mateo County, California
Program Name: ACHIEVE 180

San Mateo County, California, is using its Second Chance Act Reentry Demonstration grant to help implement their Community Reentry Strategic Plan. Under the title of ACHIEVE 180, the program targets sentenced individuals, both men and women, with a minimum of sixty days or more to serve in the San Mateo County jail. ACHIEVE 180 provides reentry services and supports specifically to high-risk offenders planning to return to the County of San Mateo following release. Part of the grant funds were used to hire a reentry coordinator. This new position was created within the County Manager's Office, rather than within the Probation Department or the Sheriff's Office, specifically to facilitate cross-agency collaboration.

As of August 2010, Achieve 180 is serving eighty-one clients, seventeen of whom have released ninety days post incarceration and successfully engaged in their transition plans. Additionally, fifty-one mentor/mentee matches have taken place. A Transition Planning Team—chaired by the reentry coordinator and includes representatives from the Sheriff's Office, Probation Department, and the nonprofit Service League—collaboratively develops individualized case plans that are informed by the Correctional Assessment and Intervention System (CAIS), a validated risk/needs assessment instrument. Case managers procure services identified by CAIS, including substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, housing services, healthcare services, mentoring services, and family reunification services.


The National Reentry Resource Center is Hiring!

Reentry in the News

Articles from newspapers around the country covering reentry issues can be found on the National Reentry Resource Center website. Some recent headlines from the homepage are posted below.

The Daily Sentinel (TX) — Project offers ex-convicts a fresh start

8/21/10 — "Nacogdoches County could have the pilot program other areas look to when beginning prisoner reentry programs," Nacogdoches County Commissioner Reggie Cotton said. Commissioners approved a resolution supporting the reentry program during the last commissioners court meeting, which will help the program secure grants to fund the project.

Tulsa World (OK) — Inmates study for the future

8/20/10 — In Tulsa, Project Reconnect, a Girl Scouts Beyond Bars program, offers such training as welding, hospitality, and computer courses to incarcerated mothers. The yearlong re-entry program is sponsored by the George Kaiser Family Foundation and aims to successfully reunite the women with their children.

Baltimore Sun (MD) — Mobile Career Center moves from corrections sites to neighborhoods

8/12/10 — "The mobile center is making its way into some of Baltimore County's most economically distressed neighborhoods, after it spent its early months making the rounds of county parole and probation divisions and the detention center to help ex-convicts with re-entry. County officials said people with convictions on their records face mounting difficulties, but many other residents in areas with high unemployment can also take advantage of the service."

Providence Journal (RI) — R.I. ex-convicts find job search is difficult

8/16/10 — "Getting businesses to hire ex-cons wasn't an easy sell in a good economy, probation officials and social service agencies say. And with some 69,000 Rhode Islanders unemployed, it's gotten harder."

Austin American-Statesman (TX) — Housing program for ex-cons not working as intended, some lawmakers say

8/14/10 — "As Texas prison programs go, this one was tiny. Just a few hundred ex-cons would be eligible for housing vouchers those who had been approved for parole but were stuck behind bars because they had no place to live, either because their families didn't want them or they had no place to go. It was also supposed to save taxpayers money, since the housing would cost less than a $47-a-day prison bed. Instead, state records show, the 8-month-old Temporary Housing Assistance Program appears to have accomplished just the opposite. In some cases, parolees have been moved into state-rented homes from less expensive halfway houses."

The Bay Citizen (CA) — Parole Violations Feed Prison's Revolving Door

8/10/10 — "Woods is just one of a group – tens of thousands strong – of ex-convicts paroled in California every year. They often face bleak prospects for employment and debilitating drug addictions. About 400 reside in Richmond, a city long plagued by crime. More than 70 percent of the time, they prove unable to comply with the terms of their parole."

Mercury News (CA) — San Mateo County program helps high-risk parolees return to society

8/12/10 — "As hard as it is to find a job right now, it's even harder if you're an addict and a parolee. Seventeen men and women considered high-risk parolees celebrated Thursday the 90-day and 180-day marks in their freedom from jail and prison, having so far successfully navigated a new federally funded county re-entry program called Achieve 180, named for what organizers hope will be a complete turnaround in the lives of the program's participants."

Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce— Tax benefits available for those who hire from Nevada Department of Corrections re-entry program

8/4/10 — The Nevada Department of Corrections works to provide re-entry services for inmates who are leaving the correctional facility and re-acclimating themselves into society. The re-entry program provides elective program services to inmates to help prepare them for the transition back into the local community. Nevada business owners can help support this program while also receiving tax incentives by employing individuals leaving the department's Casa Grande Transitional Housing facility.

The Boston Globe (MA) — CORI changes become the law

8/7/10 — Governor Deval Patrick signed into law yesterday a long-sought overhaul of the state's criminal records system that proponents say makes Massachusetts the first state to ban most employers from inquiring about applicants' criminal history on job applications.

Fox News' latest election "controversy" falls apart

Moreover, the waiver process is part of the law and was mentioned during the debate over the legislation, which was co-sponsored by 26 Senate Republicans. Read More

Obama's goal: End Iraq war, then win Mideast peace - Yahoo! News

Firmly and finally ending the U.S. combat mission in Iraq, President Barack Obama will have but a moment before trying to hasten peace nearby between Israelis and Palestinians. Left unclear is whether winding down the war that inflamed Arab passions will do anything to help long-shot Mideast talks.

Robert Kuttner: Simpson's 'Tits' Are the Least of It

2010-08-30-simpsondb.jpg

AP

Robert Kuttner: Given what is happening to the real economy in the real world, the prospect of a double-dip recession and the prospect of a lost decade of high unemployment, the idea that the bigger menace is Social Security is just whacko. Let's recall that Social Security is in surplus until 2037! Yet the idea that the road to recovery leads through cuts in Social Security, Medicare, and other social outlays that are keeping the depression from worsening, if anything, is gaining traction among opinion elites. Exhibit A is a doubly dishonest column by the New York Times' new whiz-kid pundit, Matt Bai, who used a liberal congressman, Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, as a prop to make his misleading case.

Jeffrey Sachs: Moving Beyond Washington's Stale Economic Debate

While the Obama economic strategy offers us continued stagnation and chronic budget deficits, the Republican strategy offers us a complete collapse of the federal government, and of course even more explosive deficits.

Robert Reich: Why Cheaper Money Won't Mean More Jobs

If Ben Bernanke and company make it even cheaper to borrow, they'll be unleashing a third corporate strategy for creating more profits but fewer jobs -- mergers and acquisitions.

Beck and Palin are like an all purpose high school gang: the quirky, sagacious Honor Society geek and the homecoming queen who claims the ROTC kids as backup. Interestingly, the ROTC kids are never present to deny the alliance.
