“…Studies on programs targeted at adult offenders can be separated into two groups: prison based and external. Doleac et al (2020) review three randomized controlled trials of external reentry programs and find, at best, mixed evidence of their effectiveness. 3 Blattman et al (2017) study the effect of behavioral therapy and show that it can reduce violent crimes.…”

“…Hunter and colleagues (2016) observed that strengths-based models have flourished in social work, education, psychology, and service settings. From a service provider standpoint, "strengths-based case management expects case managers to identify clients' priorities and take an active role in helping clients achieve their goals [by] focusing on resilience, transformation, empowerment, and civic engagement" (p. 1300; see also Doleac 2020;Drucker 2018). Research shows that "networks formed through participation in prison programs operated by community-based organizations were prosocial and endured into the men's release into the community [and provided] access to and compelled activation of forms of social capital in free society" (Riggs 2020, p. 1; see also Owens 2014;Price-Spratlen and Goldsby, 2012).…”

Increasing research attention is being given to former felons, or returning citizens, after their release from prison. This paper contributes to that dialogue by exploring the documentary-making process of a grassroots organization founded by and for returning citizens and their families, and the contributions it made when it was completed in 1996, and continues to make today. Little is known about how community organizations can use the making of an organizational documentary to build the capacities of the organization, its affiliates, a neighborhood, and social change. By exploring the collaborations and challenges that took place during the local reintegration process back into family and community, the start and completion of the documentary in the mid-1990s was quite innovative. This article analyzes reciprocal tensions of service (Simmel 1908) reflected in the documentary when it was completed in 1996, and its continuing relevance to the growth of returning citizenship today.

“…Longitudinal evaluation studies have documented positive outcomes of this community-based support system (Jason et al, 2010). A team of replicators requested one data set as part of an examination of the impact of interventions to reduce prison re-entry (Doleac et al, 2020). Disparate findings and conclusions between the original and replication study reflected conceptual and methodological differences that could have potential impact on policy and fiscal support for interventions such as OH-targeting post-incarceration outcomes.…”
