The Office of Reentry coordinates with the Court, the probation department, and community partners to establish a Reentry plan, coordinate services, and provide data tracking. The Reentry case managers will create a continuum of care that is designed to promote better outcomes for the target population.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Returning citizens participating in the program and supervised by the probation department will progress as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Phase One: bi-weekly check-ins with the Judge and Reentry team.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Phase Two: monthly check-ins with the Judge and Reentry team.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Phase Three: 45-day check-in with the Judge and Reentry team.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Participants will be expected to meet weekly with the Reentry Docket Probation Officer and maintain scheduled visits with Reentry staff. \u00a0Programming will also be offered once a month to provide in-person resources to participants.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hamiltoncountycourts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Prison-Visit-London3-cropped.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-17664 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hamiltoncountycourts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Prison-Visit-London3-cropped.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"638\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hamiltoncountycourts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Prison-Visit-London3-cropped.jpg 926w, https:\/\/hamiltoncountycourts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Prison-Visit-London3-cropped-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hamiltoncountycourts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Prison-Visit-London3-cropped-768x534.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>How It Works<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Inmates sentenced in Hamilton County who are eligible for judicial release from ODRC facilities will apply for early release to the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Reentry Docket.
