This report presents the results from an implementation study of 10 grantees awarded Second
Chance Act (SCA) adult demonstration grants to improve reentry services for adult offenders.
The implementation study was designed to learn how the 10 grantees operated their SCA
projects. During site visits to each grantee lasting two to three days each, study team members
interviewed program administrators, case managers, probation and parole officers (POs), fiscal
and MIS staff members, and SCA service providers, asking questions about project management
and service delivery. They also conducted focus groups with program participants, observed
project services, and reviewed selected case files. These site visits largely took place in the
spring and summer of 2012.
