Corrections Officials Reflect on Success of 5-Key Model During Second Chance Month

Corrections officials from four states today reflect on the early success of the 5-Key Model for Reentry, a flagship research program created by The Florida State University’s Institute for Justice Research and Development (FSU IJRD), during Second Chance month. 

Key preliminary findings show that participants who received the 5-Key Model report fewer reincarceration events than those in the comparison group who were eligible to receive standard available services in their communities and participants who received the 5-Key Model also reported higher levels of overall well-being, which was associated with a reduced likelihood of reincarceration.
