Cheyenne – Wyoming Department of Corrections Director Bob Lampert has announced the formation of a new statewide task force that focuses on supporting the productive reentry of offenders into communities. The mission of the group will be an orchestrated effort statewide to improve offender reentry services and resources through the collaboration of community leaders and stakeholders. The task force will be supported by six distinct work groups composed of group members and other outside experts. Those work groups will work to develop systems and plans on how to positively impact offender reentry in six areas. Those six areas of need will include:
The work groups will meet regularly to develop relevant, working ideas for implementation, which will be presented to the task force as a whole for consideration on a quarterly basis. The task force is composed of multiple agencies, each of which has expertise and experience in assisting with the reentry of offenders. The agencies include: “Our internal task force has outgrown its own success and we have reached the point where, to continue to be successful, we need to include outside agencies and make this a statewide endeavor,” Lampert said. “Through our coordinated efforts we can make a positive impact on offender reentry while making our communities safer.” “Each of these agencies bring unique knowledge and experience to the challenges offenders have and will face in transitioning back to their communities,” he said. “Together, we can develop systems and structures that will help them get the education, jobs, treatment and other support they need to be successful, law-abiding citizens.” |
