In 2015, 20 LEAP grantees established jail-based AJCs to offer employment-related services to incarcerated individuals and connect them to further support immediately upon their release into the community. To successfully provide—and link—these jail- and community-based services, grantees needed to collect and synthesize data gathered by different stakeholders, including jail administrators, workforce administrators, case managers in the jail- and community-based AJCs, partner service providers, and participants. For most grantees, this was their first attempt to track data across corrections and workforce systems. Decisions included whether to use or modify existing data systems and how to manage data flow between organizations. This brief describes how grantees collected, managed, and used data to recruit inmates, track service delivery from pre- to post-release, stay in touch with participants, and measure outcomes.
