Collaborative Development of Individual Discharge Planning for Incarcerated Women: Executive Summary [and] Final Report
Publication year:
2000
| Cataloged on:
Oct. 31, 2006
ANNOTATION: An "intensive discharge planning process, with a menu of interventions" instituted to "break the cycle of recidivism and improve the lives of the inmates and their families" is evaluated (p. 1). Sections of both include: statement of the problem; background; objectives of this project; methodology; meeting project objectives -- actions, analyses, and results according to impact on recidivism, outcomes of discharge planning, usefulness of "readiness to change" approach, simple assessment versus more complicated discharge planning tool; and an ongoing research partnership; and project summary and conclusions. This program does not appear to reduce recidivism, but improves confidence in life skills and decreases use of drugs and alcohol.
