GEO Reentry Services and the Idaho Department of Correction will host a Transition Celebration for individuals on probation and parole who have successfully completed the Connection and Intervention Station reentry program. The event will be held Thursday, Nov. 16, at noon at the Lewiston Community Center, 1424 Main Street.
GEO Reentry staff, family members, community partner agencies, DOC officials and others will attend the event recognizing program graduates’ accomplishments. The event is an opportunity for the participants and their support network to celebrate the successful completion of this unique program designed to reduce criminal behavior.
The Lewiston CIS is located at 1002 Idaho Street. Participants at a CIS undergo multi-phase evidence-based programming that includes an individualized behavior change plan to address criminogenic risks and needs; access to community resources for employment, education, housing and more; case management; and classes that encourage them to confront their beliefs and practice pro-social decision-making.
Services are delivered in-person Monday through Friday, and via technology-based programming and virtual services participants can access throughout the state using a cell phone, tablet or computer. This dual format allows GEO Reentry staff to maintain close contact with participants and consistently monitor their progress. Combining in-person and technology-based services allows the DOC to serve individuals across the state and facilitates ongoing contact with participants to support their successful reentry. GEO Reentry operates CIS offices for the DOC in Boise, Idaho Falls, Twin Falls, Lewiston, Nampa-Caldwell, Pocatello and Coeur d’ Alene.
