Serious and Violent Offender Reentry
Initiative Grantees
Oklahoma Department of Corrections (Amount: $1,000,608*)
The Oklahoma Department of Corrections will target high-risk offenders
ages 18–35. The program will focus on the treatment needs of each
offender being released, utilizing a coordinated reentry plan developed
and implemented by a team composed of corrections and community-based
transition staff. The focal point for community services will be
the local Workforce Oklahoma offices and the Oklahoma City Weed
and Seed Office. The program design focuses on improved assessment,
information sharing, and outreach to the community during the incarceration
stage. These efforts will be combined with community outreach into
correctional facilities during the period immediately preceding
the offender’s return to the community. An expanded force of transition
workers coordinating the variety of available services will help
provide seamless services to address the needs of the targeted
offenders returning to Oklahoma County. For more
information, read this grantee’s workplan.
Local contact: Bill McCollum, 918–581–2002.
Oklahoma Office of Juvenile Affairs (Amount: $997,370*)

University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, will provide institutional
and community-based transition services to youthful offenders ages
12–20 from Oklahoma, Cleveland, Canadian, Logan, and Pottawatomie
Counties. Oklahoma’s reentry program will provide services that
include employment assistance and training, substance abuse treatment,
mental health treatment, individual and family counseling, mentoring,
housing assistance, educational assistance, life skills training,
