| Easing the Transition
When transition back to the community is left solely up to
the released offender, the community is put at risk. The Reentry
Partnership Initiative (RPI) can minimize the risk while also
achieving community safety. Offender's
Views of Reentry: Implications for Processes, Programs, and
Services is part of a series of papers evaluating
RPI. The evaluation examines how eight demonstration sites
pursued implementation, focusing on the organizational development
across agencies to construct new reentry processes. Interviews,
focus groups, network analysis surveys of stakeholders, and
review of documents were all used to measure the fidelity of
the implementation during the early stage of the RPI process.
