Comprehensive, Interagency Initiativesis an Innovative Inmate Reentry Program Implemented in Boston

Comprehensive, Interagency Initiativesis an innovative inmate reentry program implemented in Boston. It is a partnership among representatives from law enforcement, court and social services. It targets "high impact offenders."The representatives meet monthly with offenders and stress (1) that law enforcement is aware of the offender's past criminal activity and is prepared to act quickly and decisively if the offender resumes those activities upon release, and (2) there are community resources available to aid their transition back into community life. Every inmate is also assigned a mentor.
