Imagine you are a case manager. You need to identify goals and strategies involved in the prerelease planning stage of the reentry process for inmates and offenders to help support a plan for successful rehabilitation upon release.

Choose 1 offender from the following populations:

juvenile with no supports
elderly with health issues
female that wants to reintegrate back with her children

Review and conduct research on the following goals related to the reentry process:

Goal 1: Address housing needs of inmates post-incarceration.
Goal 2: Assist inmates in obtaining employment post-release.
Goal 3: Provide resources for mental health, medical, and substance abuse treatment during and after incarceration.
Goal 4: Connect offenders with appropriate government benefits.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word reentry plan with evidence-based strategies to describe strategies for meeting these goals. For each goal:

Describe the goal and how it relates to reducing recidivism.
Identify 2 strategies from each goal and describe how the associated activity will benefit the offender in the long term. Are there any potential barriers based on gender, age, race, or needs of another special population?
Describe 3 activities or strategies that would contribute to the success of the client to meet the goals and maintain success back in the community.
