Automated Rehabilitative Catalog And Information Discovery Machine (ARCAID)

The Automated Rehabilitative Catalog and Information Discovery Machine (ARCAID) is a digital library and information management system used by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). The system provides access to a wide range of rehabilitative resources, including academic and vocational education materials, cognitive-behavioral therapy modules, and self-help resources. ARCAID is designed to support the CDCRs mission to provide evidence-based rehabilitation programs to incarcerated individuals, with the ultimate goal of reducing recidivism and promoting successful reentry into society. The system is available to CDCR staff and incarcerated individuals in California state prisons. ARCAIDs digital library allows for easy access to resources and materials, and its data analytics capabilities provide insights into program effectiveness and offender progress.

Leveraging Technology to Support Prisoner Reentry

The RAND Corporation is a research organization that focuses on various topics including public safety, national security, and justice. One of their reports titled “Leveraging Technology to Support Prisoner Reentry” explores the role of technology in improving the success of reentry programs for people who have been incarcerated. The report describes technology-enabled solutions for enhancing reentry outcomes such as virtual job training and digital portals that connect formerly incarcerated individuals to resources and support services. It also identifies challenges associated with implementing such solutions and provides recommendations for overcoming those challenges. The report is aimed at policymakers, practitioners, and researchers working in the field of reentry.
