Community Corrections' Preparedness for Responding to Pandemic Flu and Other Crises: A Report of Responses to a Request for Information
Under a cooperative agreement with the Bureau of Justice Assistance, U.S. [United States] Department of Justice, the American Probation and Parole Association (APPA), will provide guidance to community corrections agencies in formulating strategic plans and protocols for responding to pandemic flu and other crises. One of the first steps toward this goal is to collect information about existing plans and protocols. This preliminary report summarizes the responses to a request for information that was sent by APPA to agencies across the Country.

Pandemic Influenza Preparedness and Response Planning: Guidelines for Community Corrections
"Influenza pandemics have occurred throughout history. They are caused by viruses that have not
previously infected humans and to which people have little or no immunity. Pandemics happen
when a virus mutates so that it is able to infect humans and spread rapidly and sustainably from
person to person. [...] On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) raised its pandemic alert level to
Phase 6, officially declaring the first pandemic of the 21st Century. Beginning in mid-March
2009, when respiratory illness caused by the novel H1N1 influenza virus, the ―'Swine Flu',
occurred in the Mexican State of Veracruz, the outbreak quickly spread to the United States and
the rest of the world. [...] The CDC cautions that the course and impact of this pandemic is uncertain; the novelty of the
H1N1 virus means that most people have no immunity to it, and, although the virus responds to
some antiviral medications, as yet there is no vaccine. Scientists and medical professionals are
watching the progression of the pandemic, conducting research, and attempting to develop an
effective vaccine in time to minimize the impact of succeeding waves of H1N1 outbreaks. The
ultimate toll of this pandemic remains to be seen."

Planning a Reentry Program: A Toolkit for Tribal Communities
From the Conclusion: "Reentry programs are being developed in tribal nations that incorporate indigenous teachings and evidence-based programs as communities realize that most incarcerated tribal members will eventually be released and come home. Tribal nations recognize that tribal members leaving incarceration and returning to their communities will have the most success if reentry planning and services are flexible, robust, creative, and meet the needs of both the tribal nation and the client. The one-size-fits-all approach to case management has been replaced by tailored services that acknowledge the unique needs and risks for recidivism faced by each individual returning to the community. Using this toolkit to engage in a reentry planning process will ensure that the reentry program is proactive in its approach to the needs of returning members rather than reactive, and that reentry programming is holistic, evidence based, and forward thinking. If you have ideas for new reentry programming or know of a reentry project that should be profiled or evaluated, contact the American Probation and Parole Association."

Enhanced Sentencing in Tribal Courts: Lessons Learned from Tribes
From the Conclusion: "Tribes considering implementation of enhanced sentencing authorized by TLOA [Tribal Law & Order Act of 2010] face a number of considerations and challenges; none of which are insurmountable. The tribes at the forefront of these changes serve as a valuable resource to other tribes planning to make the same changes in their own communities. The successes and difficulties faced by these tribes offer a lesson in perseverance to further develop the jurisdiction of their courts. Tribal government involvement at all levels and community support for this transformative process are fundamental in securing a positive move forward. Tribes may encounter additional barriers in financing this evolution of the tribal justice system, but support through competitive grant funding can be found through DOJ [U.S. Department of Justice] and BIA [ Bureau of Indian Affairs]. Tribes may also choose to access other funding streams through their governmental budgets. TLOA offers tribes an opportunity to strengthen their justice systems and emphasize their commitment to providing their citizens with a higher level of justice."
