00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:17,420
For a second time, 16-year-old Carlos has been incarcerated at the
Maple Hill Juvenile Corrections Facility, this time for approximately

00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:28,260
nine months. Carlos understands that if he continues on his current
path, his future will probably look much like his father’s: in and out

00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:41,900
of jail in an unbroken cycle. Carlos wants to turn his life around and
knows that this might be his last chance. Unfortunately, however, he

00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:50,310
has few positive influences in his life, and when he is released from
Maple Hill he will not even have a safe place to live. Carlos believes

00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:59,720
that his home environment is unlikely to change, and he is beginning
to fear that his future will not change, either. Additionally, Carlos

00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:09,200
has a learning disability, is far behind in school, and lacks formal
work experience. Because of these factors, Carlos will need lots of

00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:17,610
support if he is to successfully transition back to his community and
life following incarceration. Giving Carlos the best chance of success

00:01:17,610 --> 00:01:22,300
will require extensive planning before he leaves Maple Hill.

00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:25,800
Here is your Challenge:

00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,470
What is transition planning and why is it important?

00:01:29,470 --> 00:01:34,350
How might transition planning evolve during incarceration?

00:01:34,350 --> 00:01:41,510
What are some emerging findings regarding successful transition?
