Statewide Community Safety and Reentry Working Group
On December 17, 2004, Governor Rod Blagojevich launched a new "Statewide Community Safety and Reentry Working Group." The committee will be comprised of law enforcement officials, elected officials, public policy experts, faith-based leaders, corrections officials, human services providers, substance abuse providers, education leaders, job placement specialists, business leaders, housing activists and ex-offenders. This group will support the state's ongoing efforts to promote community safety and reduce recidivism. The group will target the state's 10 highest-impact regions that house more than 80 percent of inmates being released from prison. The main goal is to safely and successfully manage these reentering parole populations and synthesizing the wealth of best practices and policy on successful offender reentry into recommendations for the infrastructure of a new statewide reentry system. | About Us | Education | Housing | Workforce | Advocacy | Membership | Volunteer | Links | Webmail | Additional Initiatives |
