Reentry Revisited

Let’s revisit what we have learned so far in the Self-Evaluation and Sustainability module. Please answer the following question.

A process evaluation documents

How much the TJC initiative, its programs, and partnerships cost.

The impact of the TJC initiative and its programs.

All aspects of the TJC’s program planning, development, and implementation.

All of the above.

Summary

Self-evaluation through appropriate data collection and analysis is no simple task; however, due to the complexity of a full jail transition effort, constant evaluation is essential to ensure that your resources are being spent wisely and key outcomes are achieved. Established processes of self-evaluation also influence organizational and system culture by examining and monitoring costs, processes, and outcomes, and generate data-driven policies and procedures. Local or departmental capacity should be assessed and developed to accomplish proper evaluation of the TJC implementation; however, if time or resource prohibits this, research-oriented agencies or universities often are willing to offer assistance.
