Innovative Strategies for Urban Jail Reentry Programs
Large urban settings like Cook County face challenges in managing high-volume jail populations. This program focuses on in-reach initiatives, peer-run drop-in centers, high-intensity outreach, integrated healthcare services, and diverse housing options to support successful reentry for individuals leaving the criminal justice system. By providing comprehensive support ranging from identification strategies to court advocacy and housing assistance, this initiative aims to improve outcomes for vulnerable populations.
