At the request of BJA, Kimberly Cobb developed presentations, served as faculty, and provided scholarships for three Intergovernmental Reentry Workshops during the last reporting period. As a follow-up to those workshops, Kimberly submitted a Change of Scope request on August 10, 2015 to follow-up with the tribes that participated in those workshops to gauge progress on their reentry initiatives and ascertain if further technical assistance is required to keep them moving forward with their plans. Kimberly also proposed to reach out to the tribes that applied to participate in one of the Intergovernmental Reentry Workshops but was not accepted to gauge their need for technical assistance related to reentry.
Emails were sent on October 20, 2015 to primary contact person listed on their IRW application for each of the 11 tribes that participated in one of the IRW’s to inquire about their technical assistance needs.
During the reporting period, Kimberly emailed Standing Rock multiple times to inquire about technical assistance needs and none has been requested.

Greta Baker responded via email that their group had made significant progress since participating in the IRW in South Carolina. She shared that they had a MOU signed by Tribal Council and the Key partners of the Multijurisdictional Reentry Services Team. She shared that a challenge they face is their vast jurisdiction of 2.3 million acres, which includes federal, state, local, and tribal jurisdictional areas. She also shared they have a very small probation office and that they want to be an extension of the state and federal systems but without staff it is hard to know how to set that up. She stated they have no budget at this time and the 35 plus members of the group are voluntarily meeting to see what they can create for our returning members. She then asked if I had any resources that I could point them toward? I responded on 10/20/15 that even with a small probation staff, there is still a significant role that Standing Rock can play in reentry and that I’d be happy to talk through some of these ideas with her and suggested we set up a call to discuss. No response was received and I emailed again on 10/28/15 and 12/3/15.
