  1. QUALITATIVE FEEDBACKRE-ENTRY Stephanie Waldron, Research Associate San Joaquin Community Data Co-Op
  2. TRIANGULATION OF DATA Mixed-methods approach Cross-verification Confidence “Once a proposition has been confirmed by two or more independent measurement processes, the uncertainty of its interpretation is greatly reduced” - Webb et. al (1966) Image From: google images
  3. COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS (CBO) Observations Classes/programs Program graduations Interviews Line staff Participants/clients

    San Joaquin County

  4. LINE STAFF: RE-ENTRY (3) Challenges Clients “standoff-ish at first” Lack of employment and housing opportunities (4) Suggestions More training around substance abuse Creation of a designated AB109 job developer (1) Services Classes and programs, job training, bicycle program, child-care (2) Successes “Really focusing and creating a rapport with clients and not focusing on the paperpushing part. Building trust and a relationship and following through with what we say we’re going to do… have a cell phone and tell them you can call me anytime, I’m 24/7”.
  5. CLIENTS: RE-ENTRY Referral process “Wasn’t sure about it at first because it was all new and shortly after [his/her] release from custody” “I’m from the streets and didn’t want to do any of what I did. I am not proud of it. If I wanted to do anything, it was to better myself. All my priors are domestic and I wasn’t taught that way… I take responsibility for what I have done, but I’m embarrassed by it”. Services “Have been beneficial” Job training services are “good but different, I’m learning. There are a lot of positive things to pick up on”.
  6. CLIENTS: RE-ENTRY Challenges Suggestions “Probation and parole, since these people are already a ward of the court, should have a key to probationers/parolees houses so they don’t have time to lock up, barricade or get rid of things” adding that clients are given a heads up when their probation or parole officer are down the street and have “plenty of time to get rid of contraband” in many cases. Success “I have seen change, I’ve been out for four years now and that’s the longest I’ve been out.” “Case managers have been helpful, kind, courteous and always have something positive to say, otherwise, I wouldn’t be coming out here”. “When I needed tutoring or help with my kids, they were there. When my son was being bullied and suspended I wanted to work through this with the school and [CBO] helped me write a letter… make it look professional. Now my son is doing much better”.
  7. TATTOO REMOVAL: CLIENTS Tattoo Removal Clinic Client perception “27 years in the system”, after tattoo removal, “gained a lot of respect from [his] kids mothers family, [his] family” including his sisters and mom, because “none of them are involved in gangs”…“wow, you’re even getting rid of ink?”
  8. TATTOO REMOVAL: CLIENT INTERVIEWER: “And then after going to the tattoo removal clinic, what did it mean to you to have these removed?” CLIENT: “Well, considering all the years I had spent behind bars and due to my criminal activity and drug abuse I was released in 2011 and… was tired of being locked up like an animal so I admitted myself into a drug program.
  9. TATTOO REMOVAL: CLIENT I learned all the tools and value of information that they had and eventually I graduated, umm… my self-esteem was elevated, my… the respect for myself to accomplish such a great opportunity to change my life and I stepped back and looked at myself in the mirror that now that I’ve turned my life around, my whole world around I wanted to rid myself of that stigma, of a convict, you know a hard, a bad boy, you know a criminal
  10. TATTOO REMOVAL: CLIENT and the tattoos seemed to portray that, or people would recognize all these tattoos on me and, just, feel that ‘man, that guy’s bad news’ you know I didn’t want that, that umm… I didn’t want people to think that as their first thought you know, and the tattoos were kind of like a barrier, a wall between me and normal society.
  11. TATTOO REMOVAL: CLIENT So, the opportunity was presented to have these removed through the organization of Fathers & Families and I… I jumped at it and I believe that other than changing my life around and… being in recovery and sobriety, the removal of these tattoos was the best decision that I could, one of the best decisions that I feel that I have made in in my time”.
