(BOP) - Starting next month, some case managers will have a new tool to create individualized reentry plans for inmates. And, for the first time, treatment staff and work detail supervisors will have an automated way to provide input to the case managers who prepare the plans.
These tools, Insight, and the companion program Feedback, are fully integrated with the on-line information system used by the Bureau of Prisons to provide its operational and management information requirements (SENTRY) and have been developed collaboratively by management and labor. A Joint Policy Committee (JPC), with participants from the Information, Policy and Public Affairs (IPPA), Reentry Services, and Correctional Programs Divisions, along with Subject Matter Experts from various field sites have been involved in every step of the development process.
In addition to creating progress reviews and reports, staff will use Insight to prepare Residential Reentry Center Referrals and other types of release packets. Staff will route documents electronically, including submitting the packet to the appropriate Residential Reentry Management Office.
Insight is operational at the Low Security Correctional Institution, Allenwood, Pennsylvania. The system will be rolled out to the Allenwood complex next month and eventually throughout the agency.
