REDEPLOY ILLINOIS & ADULT REDEPLOY ILLINOISSUCCESSFUL ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION FOR YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS
31st Annual Research & Policy Conference
Child, Adolescent, and Young Adult Behavioral Health
Wednesday, March 7, 2018
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Hear how Illinois used “performance incentive funding” to expand alternatives to incarceration for youth and adults.
2. See how the juvenile model was replicated on the adult side, with modifications.
3. Gain an understanding of the impact of the programs both in terms of taxpayer dollars saved and improved public safety outcomes
PROBLEM – JUVENILE REDEPLOY ILLINOIS
• Judges were sending youth across Illinois to youth prisons for “court
evaluations,” a short stay to undergo a battery of assessments.
• The idea for many was to use court evaluations as “scare straight”
tactics.
• Some also felt that there were more services available in the prison
system than in the communities.
GOAL – JUVENILE REDEPLOY ILLINOIS
Decrease juvenile incarceration through the creation of
evidence-based community programs that maintain public safety
and promote positive outcomes for youth.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION – JUVENILE REDEPLOY ILLINOIS
Grants funds to counties or groups of counties to establish a continuum of local,
community-based sanctions and treatment alternatives for juvenile offenders who
would otherwise be incarcerated if those local services and sanctions were not
available.
In exchange for funds, the provider agrees to reduce the number of Redeploy Illinois
eligible commitments to the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ) from that
county(ies) by a minimum of 25%.
Eligibility is Any youth under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, not currently in
IDJJ, that is facing a possible commitment to IDJJ for a charge other than murder or a
Class X forcible felony.

LESS COSTLY
Average per capita cost to serve a youth in Redeploy in 2015:
$5,502
Average per capita cost to house a youth in IDJJ in 2015:
$111,000
MORE EFFECTIVE
Research conducted on the original 4 Redeploy pilot sites over a 5-year
period by the Department of Criminal Justice Services at Illinois State
University released in 2013:
Redeploy effectively reduced IDJJ commitments
Redeploy reduces recidivism
Redeploy is less expensive than a commitment to IDJJ
RESULTS – JUVENILE REDEPLOY ILLINOIS
Key findings:
Pilot sites targeted and reduced court evaluation commitments by 87%.
Youth in the original 4 pilot sites who successfully completed the program had a 27%
lower recidivism rate compared to youth who did not successfully complete the
program.
61% of the youth successfully completing the program were not incarcerated within
the following 3 years compared to 34% of youth who did not successfully complete
the program.
KEYS TO SUCCESS
Meetings with key stakeholders starting from the beginning of the planning process
Funding-keep general assembly and governor informed to support budget
Strong, active oversight board who hold regular board meetings and yearly planning meetings
Engaged staff in housing agency Do a planning grant first, then decide if program is appropriate
Frequent site visits with key staff and stakeholders
Annual meetings for all sites
Ensure regular cross-communication between all stakeholders at the site level
Regular examination of data at key decision points
Technical assistance and training at the local level
Evaluation of policies, practices, and program success
