Inmate to Citizen
FINAL Tangible Results and Outcome Report
OVERVIEW OF THE INMATE TO CITIZEN PROJECT
Charged with the task embedded within a five-year strategic planning effort to infuse person-centered planning into three distinct state service delivery systems, the New York State Developmental Disabilities Planning Council selected as one of its targets a population of people with intellectual disabilities who are significantly marginalized from the mainstream of community living, learning and earning. The focus for a system-impact project turned to the Special Needs Units of the New York State Correctional Services system.
