Reducing Recidivism
Monday, June 12 from 9:00-11:00 a.m.
Join the virtual conference to learn about incarcerated people’s transition out of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) jails. Once someone has served their time, the case is dropped, or bail has posted, they are released from the jail. But, then what? These panelists will discuss efforts to ensure that people who are exiting jail are provided with warm handoffs to connect them to services they need.
This session will focus on transitional services for reintroduction into the community, including connections to services for housing, food, health coverage, transportation and job training and opportunities. Please complete the form to submit written public comments online.
