Community Corrections Facilities Outcome Study

Publication year: 1999 | Cataloged on: Oct. 31, 2006
ANNOTATION: How well community corrections facilities (CCFs) modify criminal behavior through the programs and services they provide is the purpose of this study. The average completion rate was 74.6%. Programs with work release components had higher rates for absconding. The average length for successful completion of the CCF programs was 4.9 months. Overall, 76.4% of the residents who successfully completed the program did not get a new arrest during the first two years after they were discharged. 69.6% of this same group did not get revoked during this time period. The state realized a savings of 38.8% of the cost of revocation and incarceration for all offenders who completed a CCF program.
