BOURNE - Barnstable County Sheriff James M. Cummings today announced receipt of a $348,578 grant from the Department of Justice, an infusion of funds from the federal Second Chance Act and its companion adult offender reentry program.
The one-year grant application was submitted five months ago and expenditure of the funds will commence October 1st.
“People need jobs and that includes all of them,” said Sheriff Cummings. “Those working have a positive effect on the economy for two reasons. One, they pay taxes. Two, being employed enables them to cycle more back into the marketplace. You can call it the multiplier effect; you can call it trickle down; you can call it whatever you want. All I know is it works.”
“I’m proud to support funding to bolster the inmate reentry program in the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office,” said US Senator Scott Brown, who helped secure the funds. “Reducing recidivism is part of keeping our community safe. Sheriff Cummings and his staff are doing critical work in this regard by helping adults enter society with the job skills necessary to turn their lives around.”
The bulk of the grant, $180,000, is for salaries. They include a discharge planner, a case manager, and a transitional health care coordinator. A new fourth position, that of culinary arts instructor, will be undertaken in partnership with Cape Cod Community College in West Barnstable. A similar collaboration with 4Cs has enabled more than 400 county inmates to secure their GED since the Sheriff assumed office 13½ years ago
Those hired for all four posts will work closely with Sheriff Cummings’s existing education and treatment staff as part of a comprehensive reentry team.
The five-year-old Second Chance Act acknowledges that reentry is more an evidence-based process to reduce recidivism than it is a program, per se. From the blizzard of penal statistics, two are not only paramount but intertwined: millions of people cycle through local jails every year -- and 95% of them will be released and return to the streets.
“That,” concluded Sheriff Cummings, “is what we’re up against. This new initiative, like our GED program and similar jail offerings, is based on a single premise. Job skills – more than anything else – are the antidote for recidivism.”
