Help us make reentry more effective.
Each year, more than 700,000 individuals are released from state and federal prisons. Successful reentry requires thoughtful and intentional coordination between the judge, case manager, parole officer, and medical professionals.
We want to be the first step to successful reentry.
Better coordination means reduced recidivism, a decrease in crime, and a reduction in the number of individuals who return to jail.
Understanding the reentry process:
The link between substance abuse and incarceration
THE ROOT ISSUE
85% of the prison population has an active substance use disorder or was incarcerated for a crime involving drugs or drug use.
THE TRIGGER POINT
The threat of reincarceration
Roughly 40% of former federal prisoners and more than 60% of former state prisoners are rearrested within three years of release.
THE POTENTIAL
The reentry process
At least 95% of all inmates will be released and returned to their communities.
Ensuring continuity of treatment
THE SOLUTION
Comprehensive drug or alcohol treatment both in prison and post-release can decrease drug use by 50-70%.
THE ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT FORMULA
We are changing what successful reentry looks like.
ACET Checkin technology
ACET Checkin is a transformative tool that can significantly enhance outcomes for treatment participants and, consequently, can play an important role in reducing the likelihood of relapse, overdose, and recidivism. Additionally, ACET Checkin’s electronic platform allows for uniform and aggregated data collection to enable the criminal justice field to better evaluate outcomes, establish standards, and disseminate best practice.
A client-centered approach
We are meeting the needs of non-violent offenders in a holistic, respectful, and graduated manner by providing a clear path from from sentencing to a successful post-release reentry, with clearly articulated expectations at each step of the way.
Groundbreaking partnerships
It is a groundbreaking partnership between the public and nonprofit spheres, eliminating barriers between systems that do not always align. Our program helps the courts, human service providers, and job training programs function as a continuous system with integrated communication and accountability.
Expert team
Our team brings diverse experience and years of expertise from the legal and medical professions. We have worked in reentry courts and understand the review process. We have worked one-on-one with patients and see the challenges they face when it comes to successful drug treatment. We get all sides of the equation, and we are here to help.
The road to reentry may seem long. It’s our commitment to help you successfully take those first steps.
Former offenders suffering from addiction often face an uphill battle when it comes to reentry. Successful completion of post-release treatment programs is the first step in the continuum of successful reentry.
We need your help.
