This Best Practices Tool-Kit discusses success strategies for families during incarceration and reentry into the community.
Abstract
The objective of this Best Practices Tool-Kit is to provide information that will better inform policymakers, practitioners and researchers on maintaining and strengthening appropriate family relationships during incarceration and community reintegration. This tool-kit aims to systematically identify empirical evidence regarding strategies, programs and practices geared towards involving offenders' families during incarceration and reentry. It highlights practices and program strategies that are proven, promising, or exemplary best practices and provides references for more extensive reading. The Best Practices Tool-Kit is published up to six times a year by the Institute for Excellence in Justice, a collaborative partnership between the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction's Institute on Correctional Best Practices and the Ohio State University's Criminal Justice Research Center.
