Purpose of this Guide

The purpose of this guide is to help people with disabilities who are currently incarcerated in King County jails identify outside resources as they prepare for release. This guide may also help formerly incarcerated individuals with disabilities access reentry resources in King County.

Introduction

This is a publication by the AVID Jail Project: Amplifying Voices of Inmates with Disabilities.

AVID is a project of Disability Rights Washington, an independent, private, non-profit organization designated as Washington’s protection and advocacy agency, and mandated to protect the rights of people with disabilities statewide. DRW’s mission is to advance the dignity, equality, and self-determination of people with disabilities.

This guide provides information about reentry resources in King County. The AVID Jail Project hopes this guide will help current inmates with disabilities plan for their release and former inmates with disabilities access reentry resources in the community.

This guide is divided into five sections:

1. Essential Needs;
2. Job Training and Education;
3. Mental Health and Health Care Services;
4. Legal Services; and
5. Identity-Specific Resources.

The organizations listed under each section have confirmed to the AVID Jail Project that they provide reentry services to formerly incarcerated individuals. The AVID Jail Project identifies which providers accept collect calls from correctional facilities. Generally, inmates are unable to dial 1-800 numbers from jail.

This information is current as of March 2017, after which point it may have changed. Please contact the AVID Jail Project at the contact information listed for Disability Rights Washington, on page 14, if you believe any of the information provided is out of date.

Essential Needs

The following organizations assist people with their essential needs like housing, food, and other social and human services.

211

211 connects people with health and human services throughout Washington State. These services include those related to food, shelter, housing, rent and utility assistance, legal assistance, financial assistance, governmental assistance programs, health care, employment, education, and family support programs. 211 is a free, confidential, and 24-hour service available in over 150 languages. People can
request an interpreter by saying the word “interpreter” or the name of the language needed when an Information and Referral Specialist answers the call.

2-1-1

Coordinated Entry for All (CEA)

CEA helps people who are experiencing homelessness in King County find stable housing by quickly identifying, assessing, and connecting them to housing support services and housing resources. CEA uses an assessment tool to match services and housing resources to people experiencing homelessness. CEA does not provide housing resources itself and cannot guarantee immediate housing placement for
people who have had an assessment.

Before release from jail: People who were homeless (sleeping in a shelter, outdoors, or another place not meant for human habitation) when they entered jail and who have been incarcerated for less than 90 days may be eligible for a CEA assessment. These individuals may wish to submit a kite to their jail’s release planning, programming, or mental health staff, requesting a CEA assessment or assistance with scheduling a CEA intake appointment.

For people who are currently in jail and are 24 years old or younger, there is no requirement that they were homeless immediately before entering the jail. CEA may assist these young adults as long as there are at least two weeks left before their release date.

After release from jail: People who are no longer incarcerated and are homeless (sleeping in a shelter, outdoors, or another place not meant for human habitation) may contact CEA by visiting a Regional Access Point in person or by calling 2-1-1 (does not accept collect calls). There are five Regional Access Point offices in King County:

Important Message About Drug Overdose: People who have used drugs in the past may be tempted to use again in the future after they get out of jail or prison. It is important for people to know that when they come out of jail or prison, they do not have the same tolerance for drugs and alcohol that they might have had when they went in—even if they were only incarcerated for a short time. This reduced tolerance for drugs and alcohol puts people at risk for overdose. People have the greatest chance of overdosing during the first few weeks and months after they get out, if they decide to use again.

Narcan (also known by its generic name, Naloxone) is a medication that helps stop an overdose on opiates like heroin, methadone, or prescription painkillers. Narcan education and supplies are available through multiple needle exchange clinics. People should ask needle exchange clinics if they are interested in obtaining a Narcan kit.

For more information about how to prevent and intervene in opioid addiction and overdose, visit: www.stopoverdose.org or call the Center for Opioid Safety Education at (206) 685-5632 (does not accept collect calls).
