“Hundreds of thousands of individuals are released from
incarceration every year without a plan for successful re-entry
into society,” Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall said. “Tyler’s
Community Readiness solution provides those incarcerated with a
path to a better life. This technology easily connects incarcerated
individuals with housing resources, job opportunities, and
counseling services that will assist them in becoming productive
community members.”
Community Readiness, previously called The Resource Project, is
a comprehensive software application that bridges the gap between
the jail and the community by connecting residents in jails with
local support organizations. These connections will help reduce
recidivism by, ultimately, helping Davidson County’s 1,700
incarcerated individuals gain an education, find a job, and locate
a place to live, or otherwise prepare them to be active, healthy
contributors in their community after being released from jail.
Using the solution, incarcerated individuals can take education
courses, gain information about how to manage finances, apply and
interview for a job, and have resources waiting for them upon their
release from jail. Not only does it serve as a crucial resource for
the incarcerated individuals, but the software also benefits DCSO
staff by reducing physical paperwork, allowing them to focus on
what is most important to the safety and effectiveness of the
facility.
To date, the DCSO has deployed Community Readiness to both the
Correctional Development Center-Male and the Correctional
Development Center-Female facilities. The software offers
information and assistance from more than a dozen local community
organizations, including Teen Challenge Southeast, Tennessee Prison
Outreach Ministry, and Project Return.
“We are proud to support the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office
and its residents with our Community Readiness solution,” said
Mandye Robinson, general manager of Tyler’s Enterprise Corrections.
“We are already seeing tremendous benefits, with dozens of former
residents finding homes, jobs, and resources. Without these
services, many of these individuals would not have a bed to sleep
in or a place to work upon release, inevitably leading to an
inescapable recidivism cycle.”
“We think of the Community Readiness solution as a ‘hub for
social good,’” said Silas Deane III, manager of Community Readiness
at Tyler. “It can help make a positive impact on the lives of the
incarcerated and set them up for success outside of jail.”
Tyler is rapidly expanding the use of Community Readiness to
multiple correctional facilities across the country. Community
Readiness is just one application within Tyler’s Enterprise
Corrections suite, which serves more than 450 correctional
facilities across the country. The suite also includes Jail
Manager; Corrections Mobile; and Resident Resources, powered by
VendEngine.
