    Response Location: Belarus, Gomel

    People Plus has begun to fill a vacuum left by the Belarus prison system's lack of reentry services aimed at giving people a better chance to succeed after prison. The NGO provides its "resocialization" counseling for incarcerated people in the six months before their release. In its first six months, the program counseled more than 1,000 people, helping prepare them to find housing and jobs and avoid substance abuse, which in many cases proved successful. Its peer counselors stay in contact with clients after prison through meetings and online forums.

That and other changes were associated with higher public trust and lower violence. But budget cuts have undermined the program. Now, nearby Vallejo is considering its options to address poor community relations and high gun violence. It is unclear whether Vallejo has passed the point of no return in its troubled police-community relations.

  • How ‘hockey hub' clinics are changing the vaccine game in Ontario

    Response Location: Canada, Ontario

    The “hockey hub” mass-vaccination model uses large spaces, like sports arenas, to vaccinate up to 70 people per hour, compared to 6-10 with traditional systems. Rows of 30 cubicles, each with a single chair, allow a health professional and an assistant to visit each patient with their vaccine-laden cart and quickly get consent and administer the vaccine. Once they finish the row, the first person to get their shot has waited the required post-vaccine observation time. The model requires less staff and time spent disinfecting surfaces in between patients, which substantially lowers the cost per vaccine.
