Overview
Jails and prisons face operational challenges to deliver services that improve reentry outcomes while managing variable health care costs and needs. Sheriffs, jail administrators, state corrections directors, and prison wardens are leaders in state and local efforts to enhance public safety by reducing crime and recidivism. Funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, HARP aims to support sheriffs, jail administrators, and leaders of state corrections agencies to address health-related factors that contribute to crime for reentering individuals, support the development of operations-responsive reentry partnerships in the health sector, and strengthen continuity of care approaches.
