All,
Please see this response to your request submitted Nov. 12.

-Any informational and educational materials distributed in correctional facilities about housing options available to inmates post-release

We have no comprehensive list of housing options throughout the state. Various volunteer organizations offer options as well as community-based organizations, all of which vary depending upon where an individual plans to go or is open to going post-release. As with many resources of this type, a comprehensive list would be out of date by the time you could produce it.

-Any currently valid policies/procedures detailing Department reentry services specific to accessing housing options post-release

All our policies are detailed on our website, doc.ok.gov.

-Any statistical reports detailing admission and release trends from between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017

Please see attached.

-Any statistical reports detailing recidivism data from between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017

Please see attached.

-Any statistical reports regarding inmates' housing status prior to and following commitment to the Department from between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017
