Response to question: 220425: Integrated Case Management in Practice: Approaches to Reintegration

The Scottish Prison Service are currently undergoing exploratory work around the impact of our Integrated Case Management (ICM) system. ICM is a process where multiple agencies work closely with the Scottish Prison Service to support prisoners to deal with social or personal difficulties to reduce re-offending at the point of release. The ICM is an opportunity for prisoners to highlight areas where they feel they require more support to improve their chances of reintegration post-release. As part of this exploration, we would like to gather information about the approach other EuroPris member organisations take to manage a prisoner’s pathway during the individual’s time in custody.

SPS use the ICM to frame a prisoner’s pathway through their time in custody. Does your organisation have a model or framework for managing individual prisoner’s journeys through custody?

Does your organisation use a similar tool to evaluate what support and needs a person might have at the point of entry?
(SPS conduct an interview with the prison at the point of entry to custody called a “Core Screen”. This gives SPS opportunity to identify areas where the prisoner may require support and enables the prisoner to flag issues where they believe the require help. This can include problems with alcohol or drug addition, literacy or numeracy, housing, relationships, violence, vocational training, etc.)

Does your organisation have similar mechanisms for setting targets for prisoners? Do these meetings occur frequently with individual prisoners?
(SPS use a “case-conferencing” model to support prisoners in custody. A case conference is an annual meeting where the prison and everyone involved in supporting them meet to discuss any issues and consider what the prisoner wants to achieve in the next year.)
