Treatment ROI

For re-entry purposes we would like to stay in communication with our former inmates when they are released to treatment facilities either after sentence or as a condition of their sentence. We find that some facilities are not willing to give us information as to whether the former inmate is in their care or their status so we would like to have the inmates sign a Release Of Information prior to leaving our jail. We know that there are some HIPAA policies as well as Minnesota Statutes that are involved with this and would like some direction in developing a ROI form to use. Are there any jails that use a type of form like this?

Thank you,
