The target population for the program\r\nwas women who had been screened and identified as having a serious\r\nsubstance abuse problem and who had 12 months or less to serve on\r\ntheir sentences. Maximum capacity for this program was established at\r\n72 treatment slots with members of the therapeutic community residing\r\ntogether and separate from the rest of the general population. The\r\nprogram approaches addiction as a biopsychosocial disease and strives\r\nto restructure and develop pro-social cognitive, behavioral, and\r\naffective skills of addicted women offenders. This study investigated\r\n(1) factors that affected successful completion of the program, and\r\n(2) outcomes (i.e., recidivism) for Pine Lodge participants compared\r\nto outcomes for a control group. This project was funded by the\r\nNational Institute Justice as part of its initiative for local\r\nevaluations of prison-based residential substance abuse treatment\r\nprograms. Data represent an outcome evaluation for Pine Lodge\r\nresidents compared to outcomes for a matched control group provided by\r\nthe Washington State Department of Corrections. Through a case-by-case\r\nexamination of the datasets from Pine Lodge and the Washington State\r\nDOC, the researchers created a data file that contained program\r\ncompletion/non-completion data and demographic variables for 322 Pine\r\nLodge participants and a control group of 279 women. Variables include\r\nthe month and year admitted to the Pine Lodge program, reason for\r\nleaving the program, race/ethnicity, crime committed, month and year\r\nstarted the program, sentence length, age, number of months in the\r\nprogram, education level, number of previous offenses, number of\r\nmonths at risk to reoffend, whether reconvicted after release, number\r\nof months between release and reconviction, and reconviction offense.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03537.v1", "title": "Evaluation of the Pine Lodge Pre-Release Residential Therapeutic Community for Women Offenders in Washington State, 1996-2001"}], "identifier": "3831", "issued": "2003-02-28T00:00:00", "keyword": ["correctional facilities", "drug treatment", "female offenders", "inmate programs", "outcome  evaluation", "prerelease programs", "program evaluation", "residential programs", "substance abuse treatment", "treatment facilities", "treatment outcome", "treatment programs"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2003-02-28T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "Evaluation of the Pine Lodge Pre-Release Residential Therapeutic Community for Women Offenders in Washington State, 1996-2001"}
