developed with each offender –delivered through state and local collaboration
– from the time of their entry to prisonthrough their transition, reintegration
and aftercare in the community.

A Statewide Plan

• Washtenaw was one of seven “Round 2” sites
• As of 2007 all counties in Michigan now have MPRI programs
• Parolees return to their home counties
Implementation of the 18 MPRI regions
![Page 9: Presentation Outline Why we need a prisoner reentry program What is happening with MPRI statewide What is happening locally How you can help Questions.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e585503460f94b51106/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MPRI Begins in Prison• Prisoners were sent to any state facility based on custody level and available bed space
• With MPRI, prisoners are sent to a facility nearest their home community 2 months prior to release
• ReEntry services are provided by MDOC during this time
![Page 10: Presentation Outline Why we need a prisoner reentry program What is happening with MPRI statewide What is happening locally How you can help Questions.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e585503460f94b51106/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Transition Teams• A risk assessment (COMPAS) and Transition Accountability Plan (TAP) is created for each prisoner
• A Transition Team (TT) of community providers/ volunteers meets individually with prisoners
• TT’s begin service delivery immediately, and continue after release for 6 months
