CJI staff guided the Work Group through the policy development process as part of Phase I of JRI. The Work Group was divided into two focus areas for their policy discussions – the first group focusing on the “front-end” of the criminal justice system (practices including deflection, arrest, diversion, court processing, and sentencing), and the second focusing on the “back-end” of the criminal justice system (in-prison practices, release planning, community reentry support, housing, and healthcare).

Met with Jonathan Redd from Idaho. Mr. Redd discussed recently becoming a certified PRSS. He states at his new agencies he is trying to navigate learning Medicaid standards needed for payment and balancing his responsibility of a PRSS. He requested guidance about obtaining the least amount of "personal" information from those he works with and standard form Medicaid payment of peer services in Idaho.
