Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative
Grantees
Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (Amount:
$1,006,075*)
The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs will
partner with Aid to Inmate Mothers, Aletheia House, and the University
of Alabama at Birmingham’s Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime
to develop a comprehensive reentry program that uses existing resources
to help female offenders reintegrate into communities throughout
the state. The program’s services will be designed to meet the
unique needs of women and mothers with children, and case managers
will assess offenders and prepare individualized reentry plans
that include in-prison and community-based services. The program
will target female inmates between the ages of 25 and 35 who are
serving sentences at the Julia Tutwiler State Correctional Facility,
Alabama’s only prison for women considered high risk for recidivism.
Participation will be voluntary and is in exchange for early release.
The program will be limited to 160 serious and violent female offenders
during a 3-year period. For more
information, read this grantee’s workplan.
Local contact: Don H. Lee, 334–242–5820.
