Rates of mental health disorders among people who are incarcerated have consistently exceeded rates of such disorders in the general population. Those with untreated mental health conditions may be at higher risk for correctional rehabilitation treatment failure and future recidivism on release from prison. Those who received a diagnosis of any mental health disorder were 70% more likely to return to prison.

The rates of recidivism are between 50% and 230% higher for persons with mental health conditions. It is for these reasons that the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), Division of Mental Health (DMH) has developed the Successful Reentry (SR) program.

The grantee will demonstrate a sustainable model that can fulfill the recovery support needs of individuals with serious mental illnesses or co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges who are in the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) and are scheduled for parole within six months of entering the program.

SR program will emphasize the importance of both pre-release and post-release reentry supports.

The SR program will be piloted at one to three of the IDOC centers where IDHS has already begun piloting Pre-Release SNAP and Medicaid application approvals: Lincoln Correctional Center, Logan Correctional Center, and/or Decatur Correctional Center. IDOC will share information about the SR program with individuals in custody identified as eligible for the program.

Eligible individuals will be given the opportunity to voluntarily opt-in to the program.

Individuals in custody who are eligible for the SR program must meet the following criteria: Designated on the mental health caseload, including those with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders Scheduled for parole within the next 6-8 months Scheduled to be released to one of the designated service areas Acknowledgement of voluntary commitment to the program The Grantee will provide six months of pre-release and six months of post-release recovery support services for program participants.
