IAP Pilot Sites

To test and evaluate the Intensive Juvenile Aftercare Program Model, four states were selected to serve as “pilot” sites to receive intensive training and technical assistance in implementing the model either statewide or in selected communities.

Colorado

Continuity in community-based services is a key element of Colorado's transition and aftercare process. Community-based service providers begin working with youth and their families while the youth is still in the institution. Two months before release from the institution, youth are provided with supervised trips to the community and overnight and weekend passes home. Once an IAP youth returns to the community they are provided with intensive supervision through a combination of day treatment and tracking during the evening and weekends. The frequency of contacts decreases as a youth moves towards final discharge.

New Jersey

As the result of several state agency reorganizations, New Jersey's participation in the IAP Project was formally ended in 1997.

Nevada

IAP youth in Nevada begin pre-release services 30 days before leaving the institution. During this time, youth are provided with a variety of life skills, substance abuse skills and money management skills training. Youth are initially released to the community on a "furlough" status that allows the youth to be quickly returned to institution for infractions. While on furlough, and then during the formal IAP (parole) phase, youth are provided with phases of decreasing supervision that includes day treatment, drug testing and evening and weekend surveillance.

Virginia

Virginia’s Intensive Parole Program (IPP) is designed for chronic offenders who have been committed to the Beaumont Juvenile Correctional Center by the Norfolk Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. A Norfolk Youth Assessment Team (CAT) handles all IPP cases. CAT works with parole officers, offenders, and offenders’ families to identify treatment, service needs, and agencies that can address problems.
