Federal Reentry Project
Providing comprehensive, culturally-appropriate, gender-responsive, individually-tailored case management and reentry services to individuals being released from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons and returning to San Francisco or Alameda County.
The Federal Reentry Project (FRP) is a collaborative partnership between the Presiding Judge, U.S. Probation Service, Federal Public Defender, U.S. Attorney’s Office and CJCJ.
For more information, please contact FRP's Reentry Court Coordinator, Wyatt Lim-Tepper, at wyatt@cjcj.org or (415) 621-5661 x. 103.
Eligibility
Clients will be identified by CJCJ's federal partners according to federal eligibility criteria.
How it Works
For each client, case management typically begins with a pre-release team meeting. CJCJ’ s Reentry Court Coordinator develops a release plan in collaboration with the federal team, which includes programs to support:
- Housing
- Life skills for independent living
- Education
- Employment and economic stability
- Physical and mental health
- Parenting skills, if appropriate
The Reentry Court Coordinator arranges services for clients in the community by making referrals to specific programs and services that correspond with the needs, backgrounds, interests, and potential of the client. The Reentry Court Coordinator will work closely with service providers to ensure that the client is accessing services, and trouble-shooting when there are impediments to program participation.
A non-inclusive list of the service providers that will serve as resources are:
- California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
- The San Francisco Training Program
