This handbook is supplemented throughout by the comments and observations of those who have been involved in implementing the Transition from Prison to the Community model. It is to them and their col­leagues in the eight states that participated in the pilot test of the model that this handbook is dedicated. Too numerous to name, they are the individuals and teams who did the hard work of transforming both the goals and the culture of corrections to embrace the vision of offender success for community safety. They have been courageous enough to hold themselves to the challenging standards of evidence, collabora­tion, and leadership to make a difference for communities, victims, and offenders.
