In this video interview series, the Corrections and Community Engagement Technical Assistance Center (CCETAC) talks with two Second Chance Act grantees about the work they have done to conduct sound evaluations of their Second Chance Act projects.

In each episode, Roger Jarjoura, CCETAC staff and Principal Researcher at the American Institutes for Research, talks with grantees about their evaluation processes, including why the methodology was selected, what data was collected, and how the data was analyzed and disseminated.
