The Institute for the Study and Practice of Nonviolence’s (ISPN) mission is to teach, by word and example, the principles and practices of nonviolence, and to foster a community that addresses potentially violent situations with nonviolent solutions. To work to build Dr. King’s ideal of the nonviolent Beloved Community. ISPN Reentry is focused on individuals ages 18-24 incarcerated for violent street crime offenses that may or may not be linked to gang involvement. Our Specialized Discharge Planner meets individually with pre-selected inmates 90 days prior to their release from prison. The focus is preparing our young people for life upon release, helping them find stable employment and housing, and introducing nonviolence theory. Rhode Island Re-entry Collaborative (RRC) is a collaboration of five organizations that serve individuals returning to our community from incarceration. Participating agencies include the Nonviolence Institute, Amos House, the Center for Prisoner Health and Human Rights, Open Doors, and the Reentry Campus Program. RRC partners have 40+ years of experience collaborating with RIDOC and local law enforcement, offering discharge planning and/or pre-release classes, and participating in reentry councils. Although RRC partners have informally collaborated over the years, this collaborative is the first time we have designed a comprehensive partnership strategy to collectively serve returning citizens. The RRC model aims to help sustain long-term reentry partnerships, promote collaborative case planning and reduce duplication of services in the community. The RRC will work intensively with a caseload of returning citizens who are released from the ACI, providing case management, coaching, referrals, and follow up support for at least 12 months post-release. RRC partners will meet on a regular basis for collective case planning, problem-solving, referral coordination and to track participant outcomes. The RRC will coordinate with other reentry stakeholders, including RIDOC, probation & parole, local law enforcement, and other community partners to establish criminal justice outcomes and provide comprehensive case management for program participants, with the goal of preventing rearrests and re-incarceration. Aside from reducing recidivism and improving public safety, key components of the RRC include: Developing a collaborative case management model that provides comprehensive, coordinated reentry services to moderate- to high-risk clients exiting incarceration and returning to the cities of Providence, Pawtucket, and Central Falls. Increasing community capacity to provide evidence-based treatment and services for formerly incarcerated individuals in RI.
