Re-entry Programs

The goal of corrections is not to keep people incarcerated, but rather to rehabilitate offenders and help them reintegrate into society. This week you will focus on reentry and community corrections programs.

Imagine you work for a community corrections agency and are investigating new program opportunities to partner with. You have been asked to present your findings in your team meeting.

Research community correction programs and parole/probation in Texas.

Create an 8- to 10-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation in which you:

• Define community corrections.
• Identify at least two community corrections programs available in your state.
• Compare the need each program is meant to address, as well as the population each is meant to serve.
• Explain how each program works.
• Describe the requirements to enter and remain in each program.
• Explain which program you feel is most effective, and why. Provide support for your argument.

Include detailed speaker notes.

Incorporate at least two sources formatted according to APA guidelines. 

Additional Information and Guidance:

Slides should just contain bullet points while speakers notes should include a complete explanation of each bullet point. The majority of your written work should be in the speakers notes. If you need further explanation or require technical assistance with PowerPoint, just ask.

A good rule of thumb for slide content is the 5-by-5 rule which sets a goal of 5 lines per slide with 5 words in each line. This is only an approximation. Slide organization may require more or less lines or words. The idea here is not put full passages of text on your slides. If you have questions, please let me know.

I do not consider/grade grammar or structure in your speaker notes. Your notes are not part of the formal presentation (they are part of the assignment but, with regard to a presentation, they are only for personal use). I am just looking at what you would be saying to the audience and if I can understand that, we are good. I do, however, grade grammar and structure issues on the slides because the audience will see your slides.

Finally, a really good presentation should be pleasing and/or easy to look at. Avoid shocking colors or colors that dont contrast well. Yellow on red, for example, is a terrible combination. Most dont consider red a soothing color and yellow does not contrast well with red. This is not really a graded area, this is just good advice for good presentations.

Microsoft PowerPoint is the only format permitted for this assignment.
