ARCHS IN ST. LOUIS TO LAUNCH NEW MENTORING PROGRAM VIA SECOND CHANCE ACT FUNDING

ARCHS — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:48:28 GMT

ARCHS AWARDED $265,944 IN FEDERAL SECOND CHANCE ACT FUNDING FOR MENTORING PROGRAM ST. LOUIS, MO: Area Resources for Community and Human Services (ARCHS) has been awarded $265,944 in funding by the U.S. Department of Justice to create a pre and post prison release mentoring program to serve non-violent offenders set to be released from Missouri prisons. The money is part of the Second Chance Act Mentoring Grant Program. ARCHS was the only grant recipient in Missouri for this particular mentoring funding. The grant will fund a two-year ARCHS’ Reentry Mentoring Partnership that is expected to serve 280 offenders, age 18-35, who are scheduled for probation and/or parole from the Women’s Eastern Reception Diagnostic and Correctional Center in Vandalia, Missouri and the Missouri Eastern Correctional Center in Pacific, Missouri. It is anticipated that half of the offenders will then voluntarily enroll in the post-release phase of the mentoring partnership. ARCHS plans to partner with the Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC), Missouri Board of Probation & Parole, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Missouri (Amachi), GUIDES Family Life Center, Helping Others Maintain Stability (HOMS), Humanitri, and the Institute for Peace and Justice to implement the grant. The ARCHS’ partnership will provide prisoners with pre-release mentoring activities that include family reunification support services. Post release services include mentoring, job and soft skills training and access to mental health and substance abuse services, housing and other community supports. In addition to the grant award, ARCHS and its partners will provide an additional $106,442 of in-kind funds to support the grant’s activities. The partnership is designed to enhance the existing pre-release services provided by the DOC. ARCHS partners with the DOC on several reentry initiatives, including hosting the annual Missouri Reentry Conference and supporting the efforts of the Missouri Eastern Region Reentry Group Effort (MERRGE). “This is the second federal grant ARCHS has been awarded to address the needs of Greater St. Louis’ ex-offender population,” said Wendell E. Kimbrough, ARCHS’ CEO. “In 2007, ARCHS was awarded a $1.9 million U.S. Department of Labor grant to support ex-offender job training activities. ARCHS exceeded the grant’s goal of serving 488 ex-offenders by reaching more than 640 and placing more than 350 in jobs annually valued at more than $5.6 million. We are proud of the trust that federal funders have placed in ARCHS’ strategic management system.” ARCHS’ 350 community partners annually serve more than 100,000 area residents. ARCHS manages more than $30 million in not-for-profit funds. Learn more at stlarchs.org

Crisis in the Community: Understanding and Responding to the Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children.............SEPTEMBER 11, 2009 IN ATLANTA
TO REGISTER: http://www.mentalhealthgeorgia.com/HTML/WORKSHOP/workshop2.html With vision and action, The Attachment and Bonding Center of Atlanta continues its focus on providing mental health and emotional well-being through personal and professional development. As a result of our vision, our ABC University will host a one day themed Crisis in the Community: Understanding and Responding to the Sexual Abuse and [Commercial Sexual] Exploitation of Children and we are distinctly honored to extend to you an invitation to this event. At this September 11th event, participants will gain from national experts Dr. Sharon W. Cooper, M.D. and Detective Cathy De La Paz:
· a greater understanding of child sexual abuse including the commercial sexual exploitation of children and how our community can most effectively respond to this growing issue.
· a detail of the different aspects of child sexual exploitation and trafficking, including children victimized through pornography, prostitution, cyber-enticement, sex tourism, and human trafficking.
· information regarding the scope of the problem of child commercial sexual exploitation, its dynamics, characteristics and profile of the victim and the offender, as well as the pathway to victimization and recruitment techniques.
· knowledge of how investigative interventions of child commercial sexual exploitation cases differentiate from traditional child sexual abuse investigations, how to identify investigative challenges/issues related to these cases, and how to overcome these challenges through non-traditional proactive investigative techniques. Case examples will be utilized to illustrate where mistakes have been made and what successful investigative techniques have worked.
· a unique and rare look, "a first-hand, insider's view," of how children are victimized through prostitution from the victim's and the perpetrator's ("pimp's") perspective.

Questions about Sen. Webb's prison reform bill

lwhyte — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:08:39 GMT

I'm going to be interviewing Sen. Jim Webb's press secretary about his proposed bill to "overhaul the criminal justice system" later in the week and I want to know what types of questions other members of the Corrections Community would like to see answered.

Sen. Webb is suggesting that the whole prison system is in need of reform and is proposing an 18 month study to decide what types of changes should be made.

I am the editor for the online corrections magazine, CorrectionsOne.com. I will be posting my whole interview on our website as part of a special report on Webb's prison reform bill.

What I want to do is provide members of Corrections Community with the opportunity to ask the senator their own questions (whether anonymously or not); to create an "open source" interview environment. Thus, if you have questions for Webb, please post them on this feed so I can ask them during the interview.

Here are a couple links with more information on what Sen. Webb is proposing:
- An article Webb wrote for Parade magazine: http://www.parade.com/news/2009/03/why-we-must-fix-our-prisons.html
- The full text of Webb’s bill: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?c111:1:./temp/~c111c5QrPU:e0:
