In May, Vera made its second implementation trip to Louisiana to focus on the upcoming disciplinary matrix pilot as well as to collect data on the transition dorm program at Elayne Hunt Correctional Center (Hunt). Vera met with the warden of Hunt, department management, and staff to learn about the disciplinary matrix recently created by the Department and to be piloted at Hunt by 6/1/18. Before the month ended, Vera sent the Department a memo with feedback and recommendations on how the Department can most effectively implement the matrix system-wide. Additionally, Vera met with the incarcerated people who created, manage, participate in, and those who graduated from Hunt’s transition dorm program in order to assess the program. Vera later gave and collected surveys to current program participants. Vera will produce another memo with feedback and recommendations on the transition program for the Department.
