Serious and Violent Offender Reentry
Initiative Grantee
Montana Department of Corrections—Juvenile Corrections
Division (Amount: $2,000,000*)
The Montana Department of Corrections/Juvenile Corrections Division
will increase community services for juvenile and young adult offenders
coming from institutional mental health programs. The program will
rely on aftercare coordinators to ensure that juvenile and young
adult offenders make a smooth transition to the community. While
the youth is still incarcerated, quarterly meetings that involve
the offender’s family in the reentry process will allow families
to see the facility, understand the programs in which the offender
is involved, and make a commitment to the offender’s return to
the community. The coordinators will focus on specific issues that
have been problematic for some returning offenders, especially
those on medication. The aftercare coordinator will also provide
referrals to appropriate professionals and local decisionmakers
for adequate provision and supervision of medications. The target
population for this program will include youth (both male and female)
committed to the Department of Corrections for offenses (homicide,
sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, felony theft,
and arson) that would be felonies if the offender were an adult.
Local contact: Karen Duncan, 406–444–4390.
