Criminal Justice

The Criminal Justice workgroup was a collaborative of criminal justice stakeholders that organized their tasks into sub-groups using the Sequential Intercept Model. The Sequential Intercept Model is widely used as a conceptual framework for communities to address the interface between criminal justice, mental health, and substance abuse systems. The model envisions a series of points of interception at which an intervention can be made to prevent individuals from entering or penetrating deeper into the criminal justice system.

The Criminal Justice workgroups developed recommendations that comprised targeted strategies to increase diversion and linkage to community services. The Workgroups were Jail Diversion, Re-entry, Prison/Jail, Strategic Analysis, and Women’s Services. Each workgroup’s recommendations were to be carried forth by the participating community partners.
