Creating a logo for Marion Country Re-entry Coalition

Marion County Re-entry Coalition

The Marion County Re-entry Coalition is a group of policy makers, city leaders, and nonprofit and for profit provider agencies that are passionate about the issue of re-entry from incarceration. The group has been meeting since 2009 and using a results-based framework to achieve the primary goal of ensuring all ex-offenders in Marion County (Indianapolis, IN) are successfully reintegrated into the community. As a group, they have identified the core components of a successful re-entry approach, including:
The MCRC’s Re-entry Approach outlines the core components of a comprehensive re-entry program:
• Provides person-centered care
• Includes comprehensive assessment that:
o Assesses risks and needs
o Is strengths based and builds on client resiliencies
o Is client-driven (empowering, builds client’s self-efficacy)
• Offers comprehensive services and supports to meet needs identified in the assessment:
o Care coordination (wraparound approach with team-based case planning when possible)
o Community-based
o Client-driven (includes choice in services and providers)
o Culturally responsive (gender, faith, etc.)
o Includes evidence-based services that address cognitive risks/needs (e.g. cognitive behavioral therapy)
o Uses peer supports and mentoring
• Provides integrated services and supports collaboration between systems and providers
• Involves families and other allies
• Supports continuity of care
o Focuses on the transition from incarceration (Connects re-entrants to services pre-release and provides ongoing support post-release)
• Includes ongoing monitoring and support
• Outcomes and research-driven (Evaluation)
• Includes system-wide education and training (Provides capacity-building opportunities to agencies that serve re- entrants)
• Removes system and individual level barriers

The group advocates for policy changes and best practices that will make it easier for returning offenders to transition back to the community successfully.
