Approach

Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI) is a state grant program at the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) designed to build and support more effective and less expensive community-based alternatives to incarceration.

The goals of ARI are to:

• Reduce crime and recidivism in a way that is cost effective for taxpayers.
• Provide financial incentives to counties or judicial circuits to create effective local-level evidence-based services.
• Encourage the successful local supervision of eligible individuals and their reintegration into the locality.
• Perform rigorous data collection and analysis to assess program outcomes.
