The Page County Jail Reentry Project will reduce recidivism and improve behavioral health and reentry outcomes among individuals who are incarcerated in Page County Jail. The project will serve Page County in northwestern Virginia. Page County is rural, is economically distressed, and has few behavioral health and social services.

The project is expected to serve 90 individuals over three years. Participants are expected to achieve two or more of their case plan objectives, which will reduce their criminogenic risk. They are expected to show an improvement in their assessed criminogenic risk score at six months post-release. Additionally, participants are expected to show improvements in their substance use and mental health symptoms. They are expected to show an improvement in their recovery capital score at six months post-release. Datacorp will conduct semiannual project evaluations to inform quality improvement opportunities and a final project evaluation.
