SCC utilizes the Transition from Jail to Community (TJC) model, which utilizes best practice methods to reduce recidivism or likelihood of a person returning to jail by improving stabilization upon returning to the community and improving the quality of life for persons involved in the criminal justice system. The TJC model connects participants to services prior to their release from detention or jail, with continued services upon reentry into the community. Services include continued support, skill development, direct case management and resources, and relationships to promote positive community involvement. Cooperation and collaboration among criminal justice system and community partners is critical to providing a continuum of services. The TJC model calls for comprehensive reentry processes including, but not limited to, client assessment, transition and case planning and targeted services in the correctional and community setting based on the assessed individual’s risk and needs. In addition, best practices for reentry services are culturally responsive and address factors or “criminogenic needs” of the individual including cognitive processing, attitudes, beliefs, values and emotional regulation, employment and education including supported employment, developing positive family, peers and natural supports, productive use of time, mental health and substance use treatment and recovery support.
