The Adult Redeploy Illinois 2014 Annual Report is now available on the ARI website. The report provides local jurisdictions, policymakers, and the general public important information on progress to-date in the initiative.2014 was a year of continued growth for Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI). The number of non-violent offenders supervised at ARI sites increased 33 percent, from 1,275 in 2013 to 1,698 in 2014.From 2011-2014, more than 2,100 non-violent offenders were diverted from prison which represents about $46.5 million in potential cost savings to the state by providing local supervision and services instead of sending these individuals to prison.

Adult Redeploy Illinois is a state initiative to reduce the number of non-violent offenders going to the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) by providing financial incentives to local jurisdictions to increase community-based supervision and services that are proven to reduce recidivism.

Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI) applies evidence-based, data-driven, and result-oriented strategies to curb prison overcrowding and enhance public safety. Since 2010, the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (Authority) has administered grant funding for ARI and offered research, evaluation, and technical assistance to the program.

The community-based Intensive Supervision Probation with Services (ISP-S) program is one of the prison diversion models funded by Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI), a state grant program to reduce reliance on incarceration created by the 2009 Crime Reduction Act (730 ILCS 190/) and housed at the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA). In 2019, an impact evaluation study was conducted as a follow-up to the 2018 process evaluation and is the subject of this report. All data collection was conducted by researchers from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale across the four ARI sites in DuPage, Macon, Peoria and St. Clair. The duration of the accumulation of data was from March 2019 through June 2019

Intensive Supervision Probation (ISP) programs are enhanced community correction programs that generally include increased surveillance. The Intensive Supervision Probation with Services model (ISP-S) uses an integrated approach that includes increased surveillance, treatment, and other evidence-based or promising practices for its participants. Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI) supports several ISP-S programs in Illinois. This study evaluated the implementation of four such models and found multiple strengths, including strong collaboration, teamwork, level of commitment, adherence to the program model, and use of community resources.

There have been few research studies on Latinx people who are criminal justice-involved. The Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI) Program adopted a racial equity lens to better study and address the needs of racial minorities in their funded diversion programs. These programs are important to justice-involved individuals with felony charges because the programs present an opportunity to be in community supervision which addresses their criminogenic needs rather than be incarcerated. We embarked on a study to describe the ARI Latinx participants who have completed the program, describe their experiences in the program, and compare their experiences and outcomes with White and Black ARI participants who have also completed the program. We found some differences in experiences and outcomes that could be considered racial disparities. Discussion of these differences with ARI leadership, including Oversight Board members, local ARI staff, was recommended, along with future studies which collect more information relevant to the Latinx experience in the U.S., and studies that include ARI vocational training and employment outcomes.

This evaluation of DuPage County Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI) explored both planning and implementation of ARI programming during its pilot phase starting January 1, 2011 and concluding in June 30, 2012.

ICJIA is looking for a dynamic intern who will work in this state grant program to expand prison diversion programs and improve equitable access to interventions for justice-impacted individuals in partnership with the Oversight Board and grantee site network.

The overall purpose for this PSC is to support the completion of research projects of the Center for Community Corrections Research’s Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI) research agenda over the summer and fall of 2022. Interns will complete literature reviews related to the research, collect and/or analyze ARI data, complete final report drafts for review, and revise report drafts as needed. The results of the research will be presented to the ARI Oversight Board and reviewed for publication on the ARI Research & Analysis website. These reports will increase our understanding of the work of ARI and provided support for ARI’s data-driven decision-making efforts.

Illinois law enforcement agencies reported 118,160 domestic-related crimes in 2016. The Illinois Family Violence Coordinating Council developed and provided training for police and other criminal justice practitioners to improve knowledge about domestic violence and apply this knowledge to support evidence-based approaches to prosecution and orders of protection. This article presents findings from 28 training evaluations held between September 2015 and September 2017. These evaluations provided evidence of some improvement post-training in confidence and knowledge of domestic violence and increased knowledge of promising practices to collect evidence for and investigate domestic violence and abuse cases.

Researchers conducted a process evaluation of Safe Passage, a police deflection model in which police departments become a referral point to treatment for individuals with substance use disorders. Through the model, individuals can walk into any participating police department and request and receive treatment without fear of arrest. In Illinois, Safe Passage has served 170 individuals in rural Lee and Whiteside counties since 2015. Researchers sought to understand how the initiative was developed and operated and gain perspectives of stakeholders, police officers, treatment providers, and clients involved in the program. While more research is needed, the initiative showed promise in its collaborative approach to connecting clients to treatment.

ICJIA researchers conducted an implementation evaluation of the Adult Redeploy Illinois-supported Winnebago County Drug Court. Probation administrative data, criminal history data, interviews with program stakeholders and participants informed the evaluation and researchers developed implications for policy and practice for this and any other county or municipality interested in implementing a drug court.

Over the past three decades, at least 1.5 million men and women have been convicted of felony charges in Illinois. Even after they have satisfied their probation or prison sentence, they face a range of collateral consequences-—penalties, disabilities, and other disadvantages imposed as a result of a criminal conviction, some lasting a lifetime.
