Summary
The Second Chance Act Youth Offender Reentry Program supports states, local governments, and tribal governments in partnership with interested persons (including Federal corrections and supervision agencies), service providers, and nonprofit organizations to provide comprehensive reentry services for moderate to high-risk youthful offenders before, during, and after release from confinement. Within the context of this initiative, reentry is viewed as an evidence-based process that begins while the offender is still confined and ends with their successful reintegration into the community. Successful reintegration is denoted by no criminal behavior, to include but not be limited to rearrests, at 6-month increments for up to 24 months post-release.
In FY 2024 there are two categories:
- Category 1 - Improving Youth Reentry The objectives of Category 1 programs are to identify and address the needs of youth returning to the community and develop and implement comprehensive pre- and post-release reentry plans, to include case management as well as identification and coordination of appropriate community-based programs as they return to their communities following confinement.
- Category 2 - Strengthening Community-Based Youth Reentry Programs The objectives of Category 2 programs include the implementation and/or expansion of community-based reentry programs and services that demonstrate partnerships with corrections, parole, probation, and other reentry service providers. These partnerships should develop and implement comprehensive, pre- and post-release case management plans that directly address youth's identified needs, as determined by validated risk and needs assessment tools.
As part of program services within the facility, youth are expected to be screened and assessed for needs and risk of re-offending. Based upon results of risk and needs assessment, it is expected that appropriate community-based program services are identified and coordinated at least 90-days prior to release. During the post-release phase of the reentry program, youth should receive case management services and be connected to evidence-based programming designed to ensure continuity of services and a safe and successful transition from placement to the community. Case management services and evidence-based programming should begin during the pre-release phase.
