    Supportive reentry programs support individuals who are returning to the community from incarceration with what they need to lead successful lives and avoid reincarceration. They assist individuals in identifying their goals tailored to their specific needs and interests while incarcerated, or soon after incarceration, and work with them to make progress on those goals.
  • Violence Interruption and Reduction
    Violence Interruption and Reduction programs utilize credible messengers to prevent and disrupt cycles of violence and retaliation in communities. They work toward this goal through the deployment of proactive strategies aimed at fostering meaningful relationships in St. Louis’ neighborhoods that experience the highest rates of violence. The programs focus on an immediate response and relationship-based interventions to de-escalate conflict. This has resulted in a 30%-60% decrease in shootings and homicides in some cities, without an increase in incarceration rates.

    Youth Diversion programs prevent deeper involvement of youth in violence and the juvenile justice system through coordinated interventions that help them transition back to school and community after arrest or confinement. Programs use restorative justice or other approaches that promote accountability and healing between young people and the victim or community.
