The two briefs in A Smart Investment for New York series document ISLG’s analysis and evaluation of the CIP Initiative. The briefs, Goals & Achievements and Lessons Learned & Recommendations for Expansion, seek to better understand implementation of CIP by documenting the CIP model over time, including: the goals the sought to address, how programs are established and how they operate in correctional facilities, the challenges programs experience and how they navigate those challenges, and the successes programs experience in achieving the aims of the Initiative.
