Criminal Justice Initiative (CJI)

The Alliance for Positive Health’s Criminal Justice Initiative (CJI) focuses on providing resources and services to inmates currently incarcerated in designated New York State Correctional Facilities. With the goal of preventing new HIV infections, CJI staff members educate inmates on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and offer referrals to reentry services to those returning to the Capital District. CJI Linkage Specialists provide linkage and navigation services to HIV-positive inmates to ensure and support linkage to medical care and other needed services with the goals of viral suppression and increased health literacy.

Prevention services include:

  • Group level interventions
  • Peer education training
  • Transitional planning and Care Management (for HIV+ inmates)
  • Anonymous HIV counseling and testing
  • Education on stigma, transmission and prevention of HIV
