Common use of Scope of Services and Duties Clause in Contracts

Scope of Services and Duties. a. The Risk Reduction Program (RRP) was created by the State to address public safety and risk of recidivism of inmates being released to the community. State provides risk of recidivism reduction interventions to offenders assessed as having a moderate to high risk of committing additional offenses. b. In 2013-2014, the State began transitioning its intervention model from an offense-based system to risk-based system and offering several curricula within risk reduction services to address areas correlated with the offenders’ risk of recidivism. The RRP employs evidence- based practices related to the Risk-Needs-Responsivity (R-N-R) Model of offender services. This widely researched and validated model indicates the dosage of services an offender may need based directly on their risk to the community and to reoffending. Contracted interventionists provide services accordingly and are to uphold this model and related services. c. After the initial transition, the State model is evolving to increase the clinical capacity to work with offenders who have been taught core skills to enhance continued motivation and integration of those skills in managing risk. The model includes educational support and interventions through the Department’s Community High School of Vermont and where available, Vermont Correctional Industries.
