Sacramento County Juvenile Reintegration Program

OJJDP's Demonstration Programs Division Grants were established to provide grants, cooperative agreements, and other assistance to organizations. This program is authorized by the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, Pub. L. 112-110.

The Sacramento County Juvenile Reintegration Program (JRP) identifies and evaluates high risk and high need juveniles within Probation's Youth Detention Facility (YDF), through validated risk and needs assessments, to link them with targeted evidence based interventions, services, and resources in the community prior to release. The JRP incorporates evidence based practices at all levels possible in order to reduce recidivism among the target population by 50% over a five year period, as follows: 1) reduce recidivism by 7% a year for years one and two; 2) reduce recidivism by 10% a year for years three and four; and 3) reduce recidivism by 16% for year five. In support of these efforts, the Sacramento County Probation Department has increased stakeholder collaboration and adjusted institution and field operations to ensure evidence based assessments, interventions and supervision strategies are applied. The JRP staff conduct periodic reviews and participant reassessments to evaluate successes and challenges then make appropriate adjustments to case plans as changing circumstances and outcomes dictate how to achieve optimal program success.
