Recidiviz

So proud of this team and the partners who make this work possible. We're hiring — come build with us: recidiviz.org/careers

Too often, people leave incarceration without a clear path to the services they need — vital documents, benefits enrollment, employment support. For corrections agencies, these gaps show up as higher caseloads, more revocations, and worse outcomes. No single organization can solve this. That's why we're building a reentry resource network directly into the Case Planning Assistant — connecting people on supervision with vetted service providers at the moment those resources matter most. Today we're announcing our first partners: FreeWorld, mRelief, Center for Employment Opportunities and SkillUp Coalition. This is just the beginning. Read more on our blog: https://lnkd.in/guwhNWnP

On launch day for Colorado Department of Corrections' new Program Catalog, over 1,300 residents logged in and bookmarked nearly 4,700 programs within hours—browsing earned time eligibility and vocational training directly on their tablets. That's one of many updates shipped in February. Here's what else is new: Meeting Mode records officer-client meetings and auto-generates transcripts, summaries, and action items—so officers can stay focused on the person in front of them, not their notes. Our Sentence Projection Calculator encodes state sentencing statutes to generate projected release dates, giving time comp staff a high-speed starting point instead of manual math. And residents can now complete risk-needs self-assessments on their tablets, giving case managers richer information while freeing up interview time.

Earlier this month at the American Correctional Association Winter Conference in Long Beach, I joined a panel to discuss how technology can better support reentry and education. One of our central themes was using AI to reduce the administrative load on case managers. If we treat AI as a high-capacity “recruit” that handles the paperwork—synthesizing notes or verifying resources—we can return that time to the high-impact, human-centered work that improves outcomes. I shared more reflections on the Recidiviz blog, including: - Moving beyond recidivism to track positive milestones like housing and salary growth. - How AI is enabling personalization of both case planning and educational learning pathways for people who are incarcerated.  - The necessity of "human-in-the-loop" frameworks for ethical AI in corrections. Thanks to Kristina Hartman for leading the discussion and to my fellow panelists (Elkanah Hendrix, Brooke Wheeler, Mark Spahr, Allan Wachendorfer) for a productive session.

How can we turn data into a feedback loop for criminal justice? 🔄 At Recidiviz, we use data to find what actually works and technology to ensure those insights reach the people who need them most. It’s about giving every person in the system—from agency leaders to incarcerated individuals—the tools they need to succeed. Arnold Ventures is supporting us to scale this work and transform the system from the inside out.

If you’re at the American Correctional Association Winter Conference in Long Beach today, stop by the "Leveraging Technology to Strengthen Education and Reentry" session at 2PM. Kirtana Choragudi will be discussing how states are using our technology to scale successful reentry—from AI that handles administrative bottlenecks for staff, to new tools that empower residents to track their own earned time and progress directly.

Shipping the tools corrections needs, today. 🚀 This month’s product updates include features designed in partnership with Parole and Probation Agents and their clients at Utah Department of Corrections, and incarcerated individuals and their Case Managers at Nebraska Department of Correctional Services and Tennessee Department of Correction. Read about how January’s updates are giving staff more flexibility in case management, and residents more information about their path out of the criminal justice system. https://lnkd.in/g2kAFk7b

How do we empower overstretched corrections staff to spend less time on manual paperwork and more time on human-centered rehabilitation? In a new episode of the When It Clicked podcast, our CEO Clementine Jacoby joins Ana Zamora to discuss why modernizing the justice system starts with supporting the people working inside it. Clementine explains how Recidiviz is shifting the paradigm for frontline staff: • Creating Shared Roadmaps: Our tools provide a roadmap to reentry so everyone can see the shortest, most rehabilitative path to freedom for an individual the moment they enter the system. • Automating Paperwork: By replacing manual processes with automated systems, officers can reclassify people with a single click, reducing caseloads and focusing their energy on the individuals who need the most support to succeed. • Scaling Social Work: In systems where case managers are responsible for 300 people, AI tools help scale their support by gathering comprehensive, individualized information that would otherwise take hundreds of hours to collect. By providing better data and more efficient tools, we can help prisons and probation offices do their jobs more effectively for everyone. 🎧 Listen to the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/gM8TgZYi

AI advances public purpose when communities participate in its design and governance. With support from The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, we are working alongside corrections leaders, staff, and currently and formerly incarcerated people to ensure everyone in the system has a personalized roadmap to reentry. We leverage AI to scale the support of case managers and tailor plans to the unique needs of each individual—ensuring people can successfully return home and stay there.
