The District of Columbia’s Department of Health and Human Services,
in cooperation with the Children’s Trust Neighborhood Initiative,
coordinates Operation Total Life Change (TLC), an intensively supervised
reentry program for youth recently released from Oak Hill Youth
Center. Operation TLC complements current aftercare programs that
monitor individuals through curfews, drug tests, and electronic
monitoring. Participation in the program begins 1 month before
the offender is released and creates family and mentor networks
intended to discourage offenders from returning to behaviors that
led to incarceration
