The Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC) received a $850,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative (CFDA 16.812). The funding will be used to streamline processes for probation and parole officers, improve their use of case management data to encourage pro-social behaviors, and increase the employment readiness of clients. Key initiatives include developing mobile applications for client intake, risk/needs assessment, and monthly reporting; implementing a new PPO dashboard; and creating an automated resume builder. The project aims to increase meaningful time officers spend with clients, improve data utilization to promote positive change, and enhance employment preparedness, with a focus on serving marginalized and underserved communities. The University of Oklahoma will conduct process and outcome evaluations to assess implementation fidelity and measure outcomes such as employment status, mobile app usage, and recidivism. The project period runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026.
