Submit a draft of the aftercare plan (Section III) of your final project, including all critical elements as listed in the Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric document. The development of an aftercare plan can often make or break an offender's success upon release from prison or a program. Setting up your client with the best possible aftercare program is vital. Knowing the resources, having the connections, and knowing the procedures for getting an individual involved in programs is important. As with the previous two milestones, research is a vital component of your everyday job. You must know where to look for the most recent research on a topic, and you must be aware of the laws and/or resources pertaining to your clients in order to prepare the most effective aftercare plan possible. This draft should be as detailed as possible in order to allow the instructor to provide significant feedback.

Aftercare Plan: Now that you have had a chance to evaluate various treatment plans for their efficacy and feasibility, recommend appropriate aftercare plans for each of the target populations. In other words, discuss where the subject will be going and what the subject will be doing upon discharge, release, or completion of care. Be sure to justify your recommendations with specific research.
