Specifications include, but are not limited to: While in the correctional institution, offenders are intensely prepared for release in areas such as employment opportunities, life skills, substance abuse treatment, and by establishing links to housing opportunities and community support networks. A Case Management Plan (CMP) is developed for each offender to set goals, objectives and action plans to prepare the offender for release. The CMP is created by the case management team consisting of any community partner, family, state agency staff that is involved in the offenders’ success, and the offender. The CMP is regularly reviewed during the offender’s incarceration. At the time of release from the correctional institution, the Probation and Parole officer has access through the Department Offender Management System to continue to build upon the offender’s CMP. As a result of the review of the CMP and the identification of any other risk or need factors by the Probation and Parole officer, an offender may be determined to have needs for services such as those that will be provided under the contract awarded as a result of this RFP.
