Abstract
Incarcerated youth face many challenges as they transition back to the community. The
development and implementation of person-centered transition plans have been shown to
improve re-engagement in education and employment, and to reduce recidivism. There is,
however, little research to guide personnel in juvenile justice settings as to what a transition plan should contain and how it could be implemented. This article offers a conceptual framework based on transition theories, the extant research literature on transition plans and services, and practitioner experience to inform transition plan components for all young people in custody, with a focus on youth with disabilities and in out-of-home care.
