A Responsible AI System Supporting Reentry Service DeliveryRAS (Reentry Agentic Support) helps Community-Based Organizations support formerly incarcerated individuals in completing required digital and administrative tasks—safely, transparently, and with human oversight.---## The ChallengeFormerly incarcerated individuals are increasingly required to complete digital tasks—applications, portals, appointments, documentation—without sufficient digital literacy or support.Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), which Oregon relies on heavily for reentry and workforce services, are under-resourced and overextended. Staff time is frequently consumed by basic technology navigation rather than high-value human support.The result is missed appointments, delayed services, reduced workforce readiness, and increased downstream costs.This is a system problem, not an individual failure.---## The RAS ApproachRAS (Reentry Agentic Support) is a governed, human-centered AI service layer that supports task completion—not decision-making.It translates complex digital processes into clear, step-by-step guidance using plain language, while enforcing strict boundaries and escalating to human staff whenever risk or ambiguity appears.RAS is not a chatbot, not a surveillance tool, and not a replacement for case managers. It is assistive infrastructure designed to strengthen existing reentry services.---## Responsible AI by Design• No legal, medical, or mental health advice
• No predictive risk scoring
• No surveillance or enforcement functions
• Mandatory human-in-the-loop escalation
• Explicit participant consent and transparency
• Data minimization and audit-ready interaction logs---## Pilot Program (Oregon)RAS is preparing for a 90-day pilot with Oregon-based Community-Based Organizations serving reentry populations.Pilot focus areas include:• Completion of required online tasks
• Increased purposeful technology use
• Reduction in staff administrative burden
• Safety and escalation validation---## Who RAS Serves• Community-Based Organizations (CBOs)
• Workforce and reentry service providers
• Public agencies seeking responsible AI support systems---## Learn MoreFor pilot inquiries or partnership discussions:Sterling Cunio
