TASC Circle for Recovery Drug Courts Community Linkage Criminal Justice CCOE

Community Innovations Specialized Dockets Payroll Subsidy Community Transition Initiative

Ohio implemented its first TASC program in 1990 to serve juveniles in Preble County. By 1999, a total of fourteen (14) TASC programs became operational. Some of the programs serve adults only, or juveniles only. Four of the programs serve both adults and juveniles.

TASC programs were implemented to serve the court systems and individuals placed on community control. Many of the adult TASC programs now serve individuals released from the state prison system under the supervision of the Adult Parole Authority, or after serving a determinate sentence.

There are ten (10) TASC programs that serve adult offenders in the following fifteen (14) counties:

Athens, Butler, Clermont, Cuyahoga, Gallia, Hamilton, Hocking, Jackson, Lucas, Mahoning, Meigs, Sandusky, Stark, and Vinton.

TASC’s core services include: assessment, case management, and outpatient treatment.

Circle for Recovery Ohio (CFRO) projects offer re-entry services for adult men and women leaving the state correctional system in nine of Ohio’s largest counties.

The CFRO projects offer treatment and recovery support services which are culturally competent.

Community Linkage Social Workers assist this population in being linked with services in their respective counties at every institution.

Partnership with ODYS as well.

Provide continuity of mental health for offenders entering or leaving an ODRC prison or ODYS facility.

Reduce de-compensation rates of released offenders to increase chances at recovery and successful reintegration.

Reduce recidivism of offenders with mental illness who are involved in the criminal justice system.

Build and strengthen information sharing and alliances across systems.

Facilitate problem solving between the corrections and mental health systems and offenders related to accessing community mental health services.

Enhance public safety by arranging post-release mental health services, recovery supports and benefits.

Coordination with MCP’s

In 2010, OhioMHAS and ODRC identified a need for offenders with a severe and persistent mental illness to be able to apply for SSI/SSDI prior to release.

The OhioMHAS Prison Pre-Release Project is considered to be an expedited process due to the average 36 day determination time.

One of the reasons for the success of this project is that SSA and OhioMHAS developed a series of screening criteria that allows all parties involved to focus on the lowest functioning offenders who are most likely eligible for benefits.

The goal of the CJ/CCoE is for each county in Ohio to develop an array of programs that will divert people with mental disorders from jail and keep people with mental disorders in treatment.

Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) programs Train police officers to help direct persons with

mental illness into treatment instead of inappropriate incarceration.

The forty-hour training provides practical techniques for de-escalating crises. Officers learn to integrate their police training with some different approaches to a person they believe to have a mental disorder.

Role playing is utilized to make the experience as close to reality as possible.

Divert appropriate individuals from the legal system and into behavioral health and support services

ScreeningAppropriate TreatmentRe-entry Planning

Twelve (12) projects were funded in SFY2014

Seventeen (17) projects were funded in SFY2015

Served 24 Counties in SFY14 and 30 Counties in SFY15

$2 million for SFY2016 and $2 million for SFY2017

Provide Courts which operate specialized dockets with operational costs, namely personnel costs for court employed staff who are members of the specialized docket team.

118 Courts received funding from this initiative last year.

As a result, courts were able to increase the number of participants to be served.

The proposal is three-pronged with a total budget of $27.4 million in FY 16 and $34.3 million in FY 17: 1. Transfer current $12.5 million addiction treatment

budget from DRC to MHAS. This budget largely consists of personnel who will become employees of OhioMHAS.

2. Augment services within the state prison system to increase treatment resources to levels that meets identified need. This includes hiring approximately 60 additional personnel to work within the prison setting.

3. Expand resources for outpatient recovery supports and treatment for released inmates.
