The Council of State Governments Justice Center has unveiled a first-of-its-kind interactive online tool for state and local government professionals working to make prison and jail reentry safer and more successful.

The purpose of this interactive tool is to encourage administrators and personnel in corrections and community settings to think comprehensively about screening and assessment, and to provide advice about what information should be collected about an individual’s risks and needs at key intervals throughout the period of incarceration and community supervision. The tool also describes who should be tasked with collecting this information and offers suggestions as to potential sources for this information.
