This study examined three postrelease outcomes reincarceration, rearrest, drug relapse for inmates who participated in therapeutic community TC drug treatment programs n = 555 or comparison groups n = 998 at five prisons.
This study examined three postrelease outcomes reincarceration, rearrest, drug relapse for inmates who participated in therapeutic community TC drug treatment programs n = 555 or comparison groups n = 998 at five prisons. The comparison group consisted of TC-eligible inmates participating in less intensive programming at the same institutions. Control variables included drug dependency, age, and criminal history. TC had a moderate, significant impact on reducing the probability of reincarceration and did so in the absence of community aftercare. Effects of TC on rearrest and drug relapse, however, were not significant. Implications for research, theory, and practice are discussed. Abstract published by arrangement with Sage.
