A Caseworker’s Challenge With Recidivism.

Meet Devon and Michael: Devon is a community caseworker in a small agency in an under sourced area.

Michael is a 55-year-old man repeatedly incarcerated for various offenses.

Devon’s agency focuses on providing housing and job placement assistance to individuals who are newly released from incarceration. He has been promoted to lead a small team focused on individuals with a high recidivism rate.

He is assigned to work with Michael, who has been incarcerated for most of his adult life. Michael has a history of mental health and substance use disorders. He has alienated his family members, has no support system, and has never held a job for more than a few months. In the past year, Michael has been in jail several times for offenses ranging from petty theft to public intoxication.

Devon wants to do everything he can for Michael and make a good impression in his new role as a recidivism caseworker and team leader. He also knows that state laws and the agency’s policies will impact his efforts, which limit the number of times clients can receive assistance despite the focus on recidivism.
