The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center and the Center for Health Care Strategies have announced a six-month Medicaid and Corrections Policy Academy on behalf of the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA).
The Policy Academy will bring together teams of senior executive agency leaders from four to six states to develop multi-sector collaborative planning to leverage Medicaid for improving reentry outcomes for people in the justice system who have complex needs. During this applicant information session, state leaders will have an opportunity to learn more about the Policy Academy, ask questions about the application process, and discuss the value of building a shared language between corrections, behavioral health, and Medicaid.

- Sarah Wurzburg, Deputy Division Director, Behavioral Health, CSG Justice Center
- Bridget Degnan, Senior Policy Analyst, Behavioral Health, CSG Justice Center
