Presenter: Hawaiʻi Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DCR)
The Hawaiʻi Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DCR) oversees the state’s jails and prisons as a unified correctional jurisdiction. DCR’s mission is to provide a secure correctional environment for comprehensive rehabilitative, holistic, and wraparound reentry services, including culturally based approaches, for individuals sentenced to its custody and care, with professionalism, integrity, respect, and fairness. Through pretrial reform, in-custody programming, reentry services, and community partnerships, DCR works to reduce recidivism and enhance the safety and security of Hawaiʻi’s communities.
Presentation Overview: Terrance Cheung, Operations Manager for Mental Health and the Criminal Legal System at DCR, will present on the recently released Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) report for Hawaiʻi Island, focusing on Intercepts 2 through 4, spanning pretrial through reentry, and connecting corrections, behavioral health, and community partners around shared goals for individuals moving through the criminal legal system. Cheung also works on a range of departmental initiatives, including the 1115 Reentry Demonstration Waiver, standing up tablet-based technology for individuals in DCR’s custody, the development of the Hawaiʻi-specific Reentry Simulation, and the First Appearance, First Assessment pretrial screening initiative, built in partnership with community stakeholders and individuals with lived experience.
