Coaching Packets for Prisoner Reentry Initiative Grantees: Engaging in Collaborative Partnerships to Support Reentry
The Center for Effective Public Policy and its partners, The Urban Institute and The Carey Group, were selected by the Bureau of Justice Assistance to serve as the training and technical assistance providers to the Fiscal Year 2007 Presidential Prisoner Reentry Initiative (PRI) grantees. As part of the PRI TTA Program, eleven Coaching Packets were developed. These Coaching Packets offer practical value beyond the jurisdictions involved in this initiative and are now available to criminal justice professionals and their partners interested in enhancing their strategies for reducing recidivism and improving offender outcomes. Each of these Coaching Packets provides an overview of a key topic related to successful offender reentry, concrete strategies and key steps for enhancing practice in this area, and a "self assessment tool" that jurisdictions can use to evaluate their strengths and challenges in the particular topic area discussed. This packet explores the establishment of meaningful collaborative partnerships in order to achieve successful offender reentry. A definition of collaboration and a tool for determining the effectiveness of case management teams are provided.
