SPRINGFIELD TWP., OHIO — Hamilton County’s new re-entry plan, which calls for creating a resource center for returning ex-offenders at the SuperJobs Center in Over-the-Rhine, will be unveiled at a meeting on Wednesday. DeAnna Hoskins, Hamilton County’s re-entry program director, will present a plan that also calls for programs and investment in re-entry services for people who would be most likely to become repeat offenders after their release. The third major component of Hoskins’ plan is to coordinate hiring needs of local companies with returning ex-offenders’ skills that have been developed in prison-based industries – such as inmates certified in fiber optics in the vocational program at the Warren Correctional Institution in Lebanon. “We have systems in place to hand people from the police to the sheriff to the judge and then to the Department of Corrections (and Rehabilitation), but we don’t have a system to hand them back to the community,” said Hoskins, who was hired 15 months ago with a federal grant to come up with a re-entry plan. Hoskins will present before an audience that includes the county’s three commissioners, who on Monday were charged by county administrators with cutting up to $24 million from the county’s operating budget. Commission President Greg Hartmann did not return a call on Monday seeking comment. Read More. |
