Ohio’s Reentry Court model offers a unified and comprehensive
approach to managing offenders from court, to incarceration, and
back into the community. The Reentry Court targets all felony offenders
originally sentenced to prison by the Richland County Common Pleas
Court. After assessing the effects of the offense on the victim
and community, the court develops a reentry plan that identifies
the issues an offender must address to enhance his or her eligibility
for release and to enable his or her successful adjustment to the
community. Through a partnership with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation
and Corrections, the reentry plan expedites the offender’s processing
into the prison system and places the offender into institutions
in or near Richland County to begin social and educational programming
outlined in the reentry plan. Coordination continues among the
institution, the court, and the parole and probation systems in
the planning for release back into the community. This coordinated
release addresses the core issues of the reentry plan, which still
need to be met upon release to make the offender’s adjustment to
community reintegration more successful. Collaborations among the
criminal justice, law enforcement, and social services agencies,
the treatment community, and citizen organizations aid in this
process. After release, an offender must report to a joint court/parole
authority for a formal monthly review of the offender’s progress
for up to 1 year.
