ANNOTATION: The COR-Pathways (Community Offender Resources Pathways) transition planning program, a collaboration between the Kansas Department of Corrections (DOC) and Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS), is described and evaluated. Sections contained in this case study are: introduction; summary of initiatives for re-entering offenders with mental illness; building collaboration (2001-2003); breaking new ground (2003-2005); evaluating program impact; looking ahead -- challenges; looking ahead -- opportunities; and dimensions of collaboration. "The findings were inconclusive and did not indicate that the COR-Pathways program had no obvious effect on revocation rates" (p. 10).
