Our commitment is to engage with community partners to increase access to resources, programs and services that people impacted by incarceration may need in order to thrive in communities and reduce individual risk.” – Kelley Heifort, DOC Director of Reentry Services
! Thank You !
On behalf of the Statewide Training Academy Steering Committee:
We’d love to once again recognize the trainers and moderators who continue to step up and do all the extra work of facilitating Statewide Training Academy (STA). We know the toll this can take on workloads in the office, including leaving things over for supervisors and co-workers to cover. We also know that our trainers and moderators are skilled, knowledgeable, and passionate about this work they do. We are so fortunate to have you as employees in our agencies!
Thank you, also, to the supervisors/managers/directors who take on extra time and responsibility in supporting these folks to do this training and follow their passion. It takes everyone chipping in to support the work that happens at STA.

The Minnesota legislature has tasked the MNJRC with developing policy recommendations to transform the pretrial process, including addressing cash bail, here in Minnesota. As part of this work, we're conducting several community engagement sessions across the state of Minnesota from late spring through the summer and we need you!
The MNJRC seeks volunteers to support data collection and session facilitation. Volunteers will commit to attend 1-2 training(s) and offer facilitation and data collection support for at least two 2-hour community engagement sessions in the Twin Cities metro area (or one 2-hour community engagement session for those located outside of the Twin Cities area).
If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the interest form. We will be following up in the next month with more details about the trainings (which will happen in April) and the timing of the sessions!
Direct any questions to Community Impact Director Kayla Richards at kayla@mnjrc.org.
The University of Minnesota is looking for individuals to take part in an interview for a project focused on the impacts of COVID-19 on health services and social support for pregnant and postpartum people who were incarcerated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Participation: We are hoping to interview 60 people who were pregnant and/or postpartum and incarcerated (in prison or jail) between March 2020 and January 2022, who are now released and in the community. Interviews will be conducted over the phone or ZOOM, approximately 60 minutes.
The purpose of these interviews is to hear directly from people previously incarcerated to learn more about experiences while incarcerated during the pandemic. Interview questions will ask about your personal experiences while incarcerated, including how you received prenatal care and other health services, your housing, work, and recreation experiences, as well as your contact with loved ones and access to other social supports during the pandemic. Participation is optional; anyone who participates in an interview will receive a $50 gift card for their time.
Am I eligible to participate?
Incarcerated (in prison or jail) between March 2020 and January 2022
Were pregnant or postpartum while you were incarcerated
Are now released and residing in the community
Speak English
Are over the age of 18
If you are interested in participating in an interview, or want to learn more, please reach out to our study team via email at e4p@umn.edu or text/call phone at 651-504-2809.
