Section 1115 Justice-Involved Reentry Demonstration Implementation Toolkit for Jail, Prison, and Juvenile Settings
May 19, 2025
This toolkit provides a set of implementation checklists for Section 1115 Justice-Involved Reentry Demonstrations tailored to three carceral settings: jails, prisons, and juvenile facilities. Each checklist outlines operational tasks across core domains to support effective planning, coordination, and continuity of care pre- and post-release.
This toolkit is intended to provide information for jails, prisons, and youth detention centers in states contemplating submitting a 1115 Justice-Involved Reentry Demonstration, as well as states that have an approved demonstration. All states with approved demonstrations must provide core services, including care management for physical and behavioral health, medication assisted treatment for individuals when clinically indicated before release, and medication in hand at release. It is important to note that states may vary in their populations of focus, care management models, and processes for submitting claims. It is essential to cross-reference your state’s demonstration when planning to operationalize this initiative.
