Problem Identification
Problem Identification:
Each year nearly 700,000 ex-offenders are released into communities throughout the United
States. Disproportionately poor and angry, lacking basic workplace skills, convicted of drug
offenses, and job search neophytes, their number one challenge for staying out for good is finding
a steady and decent job. Unfortunately, most don't make it for long - nearly 70% return to prison
within three years.
Over the past several decades, there have been many programs to reduce the continuing high
level of ex-offender unemployment. These policies were often part of broader federal efforts to
improve the labor market position of the disadvantaged. However, these traditional labor market
policies have had disappointing outcomes, leading to dissatisfaction and skepticism about
programs to alleviate ex-offender unemployment.
Employment fills a vital need for most individuals; it provides income, social connection, and
feelings of societal contribution and self worth. For ex-offenders returning to the community after a
period of incarceration, employment can make the difference between succeeding and returning to
prison. Yet ex-offenders face significant barriers to employment after release from prison. Barriers
include employer attitudes toward individuals with criminal records, legal barriers, educational and
financial obstacles, substance abuse and health issues, and lack of stable housing. While
employment is critical to ex-offenders? successful reintegration, prospective employers have their
own set of interests when considering whether to hire an ex-offender.
As research by Harry Holzer has shown, employers are more reluctant to hire ex-offenders than
any other disadvantaged group. Employers are concerned that ex-offenders lack skills and work
history and may not be trustworthy. They fear liability for negligent hiring. Employers' willingness
to hire ex-offenders is also influenced by the type of industry and position, the type and severity of
crime committed by the job applicant, and work experience since release from prison. In many
states, the easy availability of criminal history data may also present a barrier to employment.
When compared to national statistics, Monroe County, and in particular, Monroe County
Offenders, experience a higher rate of unemployment than most other locations in the country.
In recent studies conducted in 2008, the following social and economic characteristics were
identified for Monroe County: Population 4,737; approximately 26,000 in Key West. Social and
Economic characteristics include: Unemployment 6.2%, an increase of 3.2% since 2006;
Uninsured 20%; Below Poverty Level 10.6%. Demographics include: Male 53.2%; Female 46.8%;
African American 4.8%; White 90.7%; Other 4.5%; Hispanic 15.8%.

The Keys are considered an area of critical need, due to the high percentage of persons with
substance abuse and mental health disorders; lack of affordable housing, high unemployment;
high cost of living; high level of poverty; shortage of substance abuse and mental health programs;
and lack of funding.
South Florida, in which the Keys are located, is a mecca for illicit drug use, and has a much higher
than national drug abuse prevalence. South Florida is a designated high-density drug trafficking
area and a leading cocaine importation center. Statistics from the Monroe County Sheriffs office
indicate that for the calendar year of 2007 there were 2,080 drug and alcohol related arrests in the
Keys. The Monroe County Detention center has reported that 80% of those have substance
abuse problems.
There is one key issue that defines the problem and need in our community. There are not
enough substance abuse treatment services in Monroe County to handle the demand. The Jail In-
House Program (JIP) at the County Jail is one of only two substance abuse treatment programs in
the Keys. The other program, Keys To Recovery has only 12 treatment beds. The JIP provides
comprehensive substance abuse treatment to male and female inmates. The recidivism rate for
the general population at the Monroe County Jail is approximately 70% re-incarceration within a
year. The recidivism rate for the JIP is 27%. The program is valued highly by the local Drug
Court Judges and the Sheriffs Department. This program provides services in a critical area and
has proven to be effective.
In identifying the gaps in service within the JIP, as well as the areas most vital to successful
reentry into the community, the JIP has identified the need for employment readiness/ skill
development services for the inmates. A study of the employment status of inmates at the Monroe
County Jail during the FY of July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008 identified the following:
Numbers of Inmates Unemployed:
Male: White Black Hispanic Other Total

Total unemployed females = 923 or 70% of female inmate population.

shown that employment is associated with lower rates of reoffending, and higher wages are
associated with lower rates of criminal activity (Bernstein and Houston, 2000; Western and Petit,
2000).
However, formerly incarcerated people face tremendous challenges finding and maintaining
legitimate job opportunities because of low levels of education, limited work experience and
vocationals skills, poor attitudes, and a general reluctance of employers to hire people with
convictions (Holzer, Raphael, and Stoll, 2004).
These challenges are further compounded by the arrest and incarceration period, during which
individuals sever professional connections and social contacts that could lead to legal employment
upon release (Western, King, and Weiman, 2001).
One effort to address the offender unemployment problem is the Work Release program, which
has demonstrated success with the JIP inmates. In conjunction with the Sheriffs Department the
JIP has 20% of the program's population working in the community. After two months in the
program JIP inmates are able to apply for work release. Once they are cleared by the Sheriffs
Department they are able to work on the days they are not in group. This allows them to have
money to get started with upon release, and the opportunity to keep the jobs once released.
Although this assists a number of inmates, there remains a substantial number of inmates in the
program who lack the confidence, skills or abilities to participate in the Work Release program.
Based upon the significant number of unemployed inmates, and particularly those currently
involved in the JIP, an Employment Readiness Counselor is being requested through this grant.
Project Summary
This project will add a vital new program component, Employment Readiness to our current Jail
Incarceration Program (JIP.) JIP is a comprehensive in-house substance abuse treatment
program for offenders, housed in the Monroe County Detention Center. It began in 1997 and has
served approximately 1,000 inmates with an overall recidivism rate of thirty percent compared to a
seventy percent recidivism rate for the general population. The last Department of Children and
Families Substance Abuse Treatment licensing Audit reported the JIP program to receive the
highest compliance score possible, receiving a rating of Excellent. This year the program will
serve approximately 120 inmates. The majority of clients are court ordered by the Drug Court
Judges in Monroe County. The program has established a positive reputation, working closely
with the Judges, Prosecutors and Lawyers to offer treatment to those who find themselves in the
criminal justice system due to their addiction.
The treatment program currently includes:
--MRT Moral Reconation Therapy, evidence based systematic step-by-step treatment strategy
designed to enhance self-image and promote positive productive identity.
--Communication skills, based on a program developed for prison populations called Touchstones
Discussion Project. Inmates discuss relevant topics that have pros and cons.

--Art and Music Therapy Inmates use creative sources of visual art and music to enhance
cognitive functioning.
--Step Group The core ideas of the first three steps of AA and NA
--Relationship Group skills The program is from Hazelden Publishing created for inmates that
concentrate on understanding skills to maintain healthy relationships.
--Drug Education Inmates learn and explore chemical dependency how it impacts their lives and
the biopsychosocial nature of the disease.
--Criminal and Addictive Thinking This is a cognitive behavioral class which assists inmates to
identify criminal and addictive thinking that keep them in behavior patterns that return them to jail.
--Relapse Prevention Presents identifying triggers, cravings, and high-risk situations that can lead
to relapse.
--Rational Emotive Therapy Developed by Albert Ellis they learn the ABC method, A being the
event, B being our beliefs about the event, and C which leads to our reaction to the event.
--Parenting An optional class that is recognized by the DCF for those who have case plans.
--Understanding Grief An optional class on understanding how unresolved grief can manifest itself
in long-term depression, addiction, PTSD and ambivalence.
--Anger Management An Optional class about the responsibility of choices when angry.
--Individual Counseling At intake all inmates are assigned an Primary Counselor. This counselor
follows the inmate through the program. Counselors are responsible for progress notes and
summaries for the courts. Inmate?s individual needs are assessed and monthly treatment plans
are created to accommodate them. The primary counselor makes referrals to medical, psychiatric
services, GED class, and literacy. They are a liaison for release plans including supportive
housing, clothing vouchers, food vouchers, bus tickets to return to their home towns, referrals to
mental health agencies for aftercare services, and connections to NA and AA meetings.
Treatment is a minimum of six months with the possibility of lasting one year. Aftercare is six
months and is provided by the Care Center for Mental Health in Key West and the Upper Keys and
The Guidance Clinic of the Middle Keys in Marathon. Arrangements are made when clients are
returning to their hometowns with agencies that provide aftercare.
The JIP Program Objectives include:
--The number of inmates served in the program: 120
The number expected to complete the program is 100
--70% of the inmates served will complete an aftercare program
--97% of the inmates served in the program will remain dnug free while participating
--70% of the inmates in the aftercare program will not test positive for drugs/alcohol
--75% of the inmates will not violate probation during aftercare
--70% of the inmates served will not return to jail during the first year after release.
This Justice Assistance Grant, will enable us to add a vital Employment Readiness Skill
Development Services Component to this program. We proposed to be able to serve 120 inmates
per year with employment readiness and training. The specific services include, but are not limited
to the following:
--Referral and implementation of vocational assessments
--Implementation of employment readiness scales
--Instruction in resume writing
--Provision of training on completing job applications
--Provision of employment training relating to appearance and body language

-Provision of employment training relating to job interviewing
-Coordination of Inmate to Inmate instruction (reading and language skills)
The rationale for the speCific services chosen for this Project is based upon interviews with current
inmates, as well as discussions with representatives from community providers such as the South
Florida Workforce, and the Florida Keys Community College. Inmates face particular challenges
when seeking employment that individuals who have not been incarcerated do not experience.
Therefore, it is important that we do what we can to foster the employability of inmates when they
leave our jail.
In addition to the direct services included in the objectives and activities in the following section,
this Project plans to work with the South Florida Workforce One Stop Career Center which is
available to provide employment training, job placement, job searches, welfare transition and
welfare to work assistance, career counseling and social service referrals for inmates upon their
release.
One of the specific tools planned for use in this Project is an employment screen originally
developed by the New Mexico Corrections Department and later modified by the Maryland
Correctional Education Program. This assessment tool poses a series of 49 questions intended to
identify potential challenges the job seeker may face. This tool is useful because it groups issues
by the following six categories: educationltraining, persona/health, offender, attitude, support, and
job search. The screen can be modified or reframed, in a way that will focus on inmates'
employment assets and qualifications, and not solely on their deficits.

project to the Federal agency funding the project. The Secretary of Labor retains final coverage
authority under Reorganization Plan Number 14.
