The random assignment procedure began in October 1990 and\r\ncontinued until June 1992. Prison caseworkers in the Office of Adult\r\nRelease (OAR) within the Minnesota Department of Corrections screened\r\noffenders for participation in the prison diversion program (ICS)\r\naccording to established criteria. The RAND coordinator assigned\r\noffenders to the experimental program or to the control program\r\n(prison) by consulting a predetermined random list of assignments. For\r\nthe ISR program, institutional caseworkers reviewed the treatment\r\nplans for offenders who were scheduled to be released from prison\r\nwithin the next six months. The same procedure for random assignment\r\nwas used as in the ICS study. The final sample sizes were 124 in the\r\nICS program and 176 in the ISR program. Parts 1 and 9, Background\r\nData, include demographic information such as sex, race, education,\r\nmarital status, number of dependents, and living arrangement at time\r\nof most recent arrest. Also included is information on the offender's\r\nprior employment history, drug use prior to drug treatment, status\r\nafter random assignment, various probation/parole/release conditions\r\nordered, and criminal record information for prior arrests, for the\r\ngoverning offense and for the offense immediately prior to the current\r\nprison admission. Each offender was also rated on various items\r\nrelating to risk of recidivism and need for treatment. The 6-month,\r\n12-month, and 13-month review data (Parts 2-4 and 10-12) record the\r\nsame information for each month. Variables provide information on the\r\ncurrent status of the offender, days under regular supervision,\r\nintensive community supervision, special services, electronic\r\nsurveillance, detention or incarceration (jail or prison), and days on\r\nother status. Information was also recorded for each month during the\r\nreview regarding number and type of face-to-face contacts, number and\r\ntype of phone contacts, number of drug tests taken, number and type of\r\nmonitoring checks performed, number and type of sessions in\r\ncounseling, number of days job hunting or in training, hours of\r\ncommunity service, number of days employed and amount of earnings,\r\namount of fines and court costs paid, amount of victim restitution\r\npaid, and amount of probation fees paid. Because a large percentage of\r\nthe ICS control offenders were expected to remain in prison during a\r\n12-month follow-up (resulting in premature recidivism outcomes),\r\nrecidivism data for all ICS offenders were collected for a period of\r\n24 months after assignment to the study (Part 5). Part 5 contains up\r\nto three status codes and number of days at each status for months\r\n1-25 for the ICS cases only. Also included is information on work\r\nrelease, violations of supervision, absconding, returns to jail,\r\nreturns to prison, and other releases. Parts 6 and 13 provide drug\r\nviolation data, including first and second type of drug, action taken,\r\nand number of days since random assignment. Parts 7 and 14 provide\r\ntechnical violation data, including technical violation, first,\r\nsecond, and third action taken, days from assignment to each action,\r\nand most serious action taken. Finally, Parts 8 and 15 provide arrest\r\ndata, including arrest code, age at arrest, if convicted, conviction\r\ncode, type of sentence, and age at disposition. Dates were converted\r\nby RAND to time-lapse variables for the public release files for\r\npurposes of time-at-risk analysis.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR06849.v1", "title": "Intensive Community Supervision in Minnesota, 1990-1992:  A Dual Experiment in Prison Diversion and Enhanced Supervised Release"}], "identifier": "3059", "issued": "2000-12-08T00:00:00", "keyword": ["diversion programs", "offenders", "prison inmates", "program evaluation", "supervised liberty"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "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}}, "title": "Intensive Community Supervision in Minnesota, 1990-1992:  A Dual Experiment in Prison Diversion and Enhanced Supervised Release"}
