REDEPLOY ILLINOIS & ADULT REDEPLOY ILLINOISSUCCESSFUL ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION FOR YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS

31st Annual Research & Policy Conference

Child, Adolescent, and Young Adult Behavioral Health

Wednesday, March 7, 2018

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Hear how Illinois used “performance incentive funding” to expand alternatives to incarceration for youth and adults.

2. See how the juvenile model was replicated on the adult side, with modifications.

3. Gain an understanding of the impact of the programs both in terms of taxpayer dollars saved and improved public safety outcomes

PROBLEM – JUVENILE REDEPLOY ILLINOIS

• Judges were sending youth across Illinois to youth prisons for “court

evaluations,” a short stay to undergo a battery of assessments.

• The idea for many was to use court evaluations as “scare straight”

tactics.

• Some also felt that there were more services available in the prison

system than in the communities.

GOAL – JUVENILE REDEPLOY ILLINOIS

Decrease juvenile incarceration through the creation of

evidence-based community programs that maintain public safety

and promote positive outcomes for youth.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION – JUVENILE REDEPLOY ILLINOIS

Grants funds to counties or groups of counties to establish a continuum of local,

community-based sanctions and treatment alternatives for juvenile offenders who

would otherwise be incarcerated if those local services and sanctions were not

available.

In exchange for funds, the provider agrees to reduce the number of Redeploy Illinois

eligible commitments to the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ) from that

county(ies) by a minimum of 25%.

Eligibility is Any youth under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, not currently in

IDJJ, that is facing a possible commitment to IDJJ for a charge other than murder or a

Class X forcible felony.

LESS COSTLY

Average per capita cost to serve a youth in Redeploy in 2015:

$5,502

Average per capita cost to house a youth in IDJJ in 2015:

$111,000

MORE EFFECTIVE

Research conducted on the original 4 Redeploy pilot sites over a 5-year

period by the Department of Criminal Justice Services at Illinois State

University released in 2013:

Redeploy effectively reduced IDJJ commitments

Redeploy reduces recidivism

Redeploy is less expensive than a commitment to IDJJ

RESULTS – JUVENILE REDEPLOY ILLINOIS

Key findings:

Pilot sites targeted and reduced court evaluation commitments by 87%.

Youth in the original 4 pilot sites who successfully completed the program had a 27%

lower recidivism rate compared to youth who did not successfully complete the

program.

61% of the youth successfully completing the program were not incarcerated within

the following 3 years compared to 34% of youth who did not successfully complete

the program.

KEYS TO SUCCESS

Meetings with key stakeholders starting from the beginning of the planning process

Funding-keep general assembly and governor informed to support budget

Strong, active oversight board who hold regular board meetings and yearly planning meetings

Engaged staff in housing agency Do a planning grant first, then decide if program is appropriate

Frequent site visits with key staff and stakeholders

Annual meetings for all sites

Ensure regular cross-communication between all stakeholders at the site level

Regular examination of data at key decision points

Technical assistance and training at the local level

Evaluation of policies, practices, and program success
