| Looking for mentors The Council on Crime and Justice is looking for individuals to mentor men released from Minnesota state prisons. We recognize that returning from incarceration can be a challenging and stressful time; in order for a successful reintegration back into family and community life, support must be provided.

On January 31st, 2012, at 10 a.m. in the State Capitol Rotunda, hundreds of ex-offenders, their families and supporters of justice reform will come together to highlight the importance of second chances. This effort is being lead by a consortium of nonprofit leaders and justice system advocates. This consortium is asking for support in raising statewide and national attention that will increase awareness regarding the barriers facing individuals with criminal records. These barriers affect the social, civic and economic stability of families and communities. View the website: 2012 Second Chance Day on the Hill |
Research
The Council conducts research, in order to better understand not only what is working and what is not working within the criminal justice system, but also why. Research findings inform the development of our demonstration projects, direct service models that are rigorously tested to ensure effectiveness.

Demonstration
The Council’s demonstration projects are direct service models designed and evaluated for effectiveness by our staff. These models are informed by our research findings. When a model is proven to be effective, we advocate for its adoption. The model is then transitioned to direct service providers for long-term implementation.
