This paper describes the "Think Exit at Entry" program that has become the guiding principle for the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). The Georgia DJJ believes that the transition process begins the day the youth enters the system and continues well after release from the institution. Literature points the need for transition planning as one of the most important keys to the successful re-entry of youth back into the community. The Georgia DJJ Student Transition Model is designed to coordinate services to assist the youth with academic achievement, vocational training, behavior management, peer and family relations, and life skills necessary for successful reintegration back into the public schools, the home and the community. Among other things, the authors present the goals of the Student Transition Program/Model, as well as the four major stages of the DJJ Student Transition Program Model.
