PowerNet of Tampa requested Technical Assistance in coordinating a re-entry round table meeting. BJA NTTAC did not fulfill this request.

Therefore, more inmates will be released to the county over the next 5-10 years than ever before. It would be prudent and in the best interest of every resident of this county for a long-term, comprehensive, county-wide strategic planning effort to be initiated to prepare for the increased numbers of citizens returning from the state and federal prison systems as well as the local jails. Furthermore, because the major of inmates in the Florida correctional system are inmates convicted of violent crimes, it will be especially important to develop appropriate programming options prior to their release which is estimated to be between 3,000 - 4,000 per year. which is made who will be disproportionately stem the tidal wave of individuals a re-entry
