Supporting Idaho
to Reduce Recidivism
Non-Residential Reentry Programs
Idaho’s Connection and Intervention Stations help participants change criminal behavior and successfully reintegrate into the community, while assisting the Idaho Department of Correction in reducing recidivism. These non-residential, evidence-based programs help break the cycle of repeat criminal behavior by creating a system of accountability and structure. Participants also receive access to community resources for employment, education, housing and more. The programs and services encourage participants to confront criminogenic beliefs, build positive social networks and practice pro-social decision-making.
Community Reentry Services
We partner with community corrections agencies to develop recidivism reduction programs that help strengthen communities. In addition to hiring locally and training staff in What Works in criminal justice, our centers develop extensive networks of nonprofit and community-based service providers to link participants to other critical services that increase stabilization and engagement.
Idaho Transitional Housing Services
GEO Reentry is supporting the Idaho Department of Correction to develop and implement transitional housing services throughout the state. Using a three-tiered standards system, the services will help IDOC enhance outcomes for returning citizens as they transition to community life. The new standards will create consistency in services provided by transitional housing providers and encourage them to add elements of community connections.
Community Resources for Reentrants
As a way to give back to the community and provide assistance to individuals nearing the end of their sentence and post-release, GEO Care developed a website that offers a suite of valuable resources and tools. GEOReentryConnect.com is the first comprehensive post-release website for reentrants nationwide. The site provides access to 25,000+ resources, a reentry checklist, and employment, education and vocational tools, all at no cost.
