Pre-Release/Transition

Case Managers work with incarcerated youth prior to release, preparing needs assessments and establishing a plan of action and services needed upon release in an effort to prepare for a smooth transition to life on the outside.

We have Case Managers who work with incarcerated youth prior to release, preparing needs assessments and establishing a plan of action and services needed upon release in an effort to prepare for a smooth transition. These clients face particular challenges before they are ready to begin looking for work, and often need more intensive hands-on attention to navigate the transition from the highly-regulated life in prison to life on the outside. Transition needs might include successfully enrolling in school, setting up regular meetings with parole/probation officer, finding housing, obtaining proper identification and attending assigned classes (anger management, drug treatment, etc.). Our pre-release staff is trained in working with this population, and is committed to assisting these most-challenged young people.
