The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe received grant funding from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance to expand its re-entry program. This program, serving tribal members who were recently incarcerated or will soon be released, focused on reducing recidivism through employment, education, cultural connections, and counseling services. MEF served as the external evaluator for the grant. The evaluation included a combination of analysis of program data and qualitative fieldwork. The final report described program operations, outcomes, and opportunities for program improvement.
