Objective 1: Individualized Technical Assistance to Grantees On April 9, PA DOC successfully presented to 40 conference attendees on the Intensive Community Supervision (ICS) program at the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency Criminal Justice Advisory Board Conference. The presentation contained embedded video testimonies from current program participants, annuitant case managers, and parole agents discussing the effect the ICS programs have had on them. PA DOC reported that they have hired the case manager at the Pittsburgh Office, and all new staff began on April 15. PA DOC interviewed three applicants for the case manager position within the Harrisburg District and offered the position to one applicant who decided not to take the position. PA DOC stated that they reposted the position on April 12 and will be closing it on April 26. BJA approved the Grant Award Modification (GAM) for the Chester District, yet PADOC postponed posting the case manager position due to the need to first hire additional parole agents in this district. Once these positions are filled, we will follow up regarding the timeline for hiring the case manager. PA DOC continues to run the Yield Cognitive Groups for participants and is adjusting the group to begin in Phase I instead of Phase II once all mase Managers are hired within each district. PA DOC will update the P&I Guide now that they have received approval from BJA with the district change.
