What is reentry?

Frequently Asked Questions (Reentry)
Reentry is the "process of managing the transition from the status of 'imprisoned offender' to the status of 'released ex-offender'" (But They All Come Back: Rethinking Prisoner Reentry, NIJ, 2000). Research indicates that proper management of reentry needs-such as job skills, addiction treatment, and health care-could reduce the crime rate and recidivism, and that the corresponding decrease in the inmate population would result in considerable cost savings at all levels of government.

How does Weed and Seed work?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), About CCDO - Community Ca...
The strategy involves a two-pronged approach: law enforcement agencies and prosecutors cooperate in "weeding out" criminals who participate in violent crime and drug abuse, attempting to prevent their return to the targeted area; and "seeding" brings human services to the area, encompassing prevention, intervention, treatment, and neighborhood revitalization. A community-orientated policing component bridges weeding and seeding strategies.

How do I get funding from Weed and Seed?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), About CCDO - Community Ca...
Weed and Seed is a strategy rather than a grant program. Interested communities are eligible to apply for funding from CCDO, based on availability of funds that are awarded on a competitive basis. For more details, see CCDO Funding. Promoting the long-term health and resilience of the community, however, is the true goal of Weed and Seed, so sustainability without federal funds must be a key part of a site's structure.

Is it well-defined?

Larch Frequently Asked Questions
a help in avoiding this problem, you can use a generated freely by clause in the most recent versions of LSL. The use of a generated freely by clause makes it clear that the reader does not have to be concerned about ill-defined structural inductions. Another pitfall in LSL is to assert that all values of some freely-generated type satisfy some nontrivial property. An example is the trait given below.

How soon can I sow seed after applying a weed control product?

Vigoro - All About Fertilizer
In this case, it is essential to check information on the bag. Because weed killers vary in their ability to linger and prevent seed from coming up, the answer will depend on the product. Always follow the label directions. Crabgrass Preventer: Do not sow seed within 4 months of applying crabgrass preventer. By fall, which is the best time to sow seed of cool-season grasses anyway, you should get good results from seeding.

Is there a limit on the number of Weed and Seed efforts a site may initiate?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), About CCDO - Community Ca...
No. Sites are required to focus on at least four specific Weed and Seed efforts over their five years of funding eligibility, but they may elect to undertake additional efforts as well. By limiting their number of efforts, however, communities may be more effective in achieving substantial change in a select number of areas. Focusing on a large array of problems may take considerably longer and use more resources to achieve an effective impact.
