The Allegheny County Jail Collaborative is a partnership of county agencies, the Courts, and community organizations that has established services and supports for offenders, including the Reentry program. The Reentry Program, which was started through The Second Chance Act, targets medium-high risk offenders who are serving a county sentence at the Allegheny County Jail. It uses validated screening and assessment instruments to identify risk/need and then develops an individualized service plan with each participant and the case manager who will support their reentry from pre-release to months after release, in coordination with probation. The plan outlines the services each participant will receive both in the jail and post-release, including CBT, pre-GED, GED, and pre-apprenticeship education, drug and alcohol treatment job readiness preparation, mentoring, and an employment assessment and post-release job placement. Many of these services are also available for offenders outside of the Reentry Program at Probation’s Day Reporting Centers.
