The project attempted to examine\r\nmore closely the relationships among inmate characteristics, treatment\r\nprocess, and treatment outcomes than previous studies in order to\r\nexplore critical issues in prison-based drug treatment programming and\r\npolicies. Researchers examined in-treatment measures and multiple\r\npost-release outcomes for inmates who participated in TC drug\r\ntreatment programs or comparison groups at five state prisons:\r\nGraterford, Houtzdale, Cresson, Waymart, and Huntingdon. Matched\r\ncomparison groups were made up of TC-eligible inmates who participated\r\nin less intensive forms of treatment (e.g., short-term drug education\r\nand outpatient treatment groups) due to a shortage of intensive\r\ntreatment slots at the five institutions. Included in the treatment\r\nsample were all current TC residents as of January 1, 2000. New\r\nsubjects were added to the study as they were admitted to treatment\r\nprograms. Between January 1 and November 30, 2000, data on all inmates\r\nadmitted to or discharged from alcohol or drug treatment programs were\r\ncollected on a monthly basis. Monthly tracking was continued\r\nthroughout the study to determine treatment outcomes (e.g., successful\r\nvs. unsuccessful). TC clients were asked to complete additional\r\nself-report measures that tapped psychological constructs and inmate\r\nperceptions of the treatment experience, and TC counselors were asked\r\nto complete periodic reassessments of each inmate's participation in\r\ntreatment. Self-reports of treatment process and psychological\r\nfunctioning were gathered within 30 days after admission, again after\r\nsix months, again at the end of 12 months, and again at discharge if\r\nthe inmate remained in TC longer than 12 months. Counselor ratings of\r\ninmate participation in treatment were similarly gathered one month,\r\nsix months, and 12 months following admission to treatment. After\r\nrelease, both treatment and comparison groups were tracked over time\r\nto monitor rearrest, reincarceration, drug use, and employment.\r\nMeasures can be broken down into the following four categories and\r\ntheir sources: (1) Inmate Background Factors were collected from the\r\nPennsylvania Additive Classification System (PACT), the Pennsylvania\r\nDepartment of Corrections Screening Instrument (PACSI), and the TCU\r\n(Texas Christian University) Drug Screen. (2) Institutional\r\nIndicators: Impacts Internal to the Prison Environment were collected\r\nfrom the Department of Corrections Misconduct Database, research and\r\nprogram records, and TCU Resident Evaluation of Self and Treatment\r\n(REST) forms. (3) Intermediate or \"Proximal\" Outcomes: Reductions in\r\nRisk for Drug Use and Criminal Behavior were collected from research\r\nand program records, TCU Counselor Rating of Client (CRC) forms, and\r\nTCU Resident Evaluation of Self and Treatment (REST) forms. (4)\r\nPost-Release Indicators: Inmate Behavior Upon Release from Prison were\r\ncollected from the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole,\r\nPennsylvania state police records provided by the Pennsylvania\r\nCommission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD), and the Department of\r\nCorrections inmate records system.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03540.v1", "title": "Evaluation of Prison-Based Drug Treatment in Pennsylvania, 2000-2001    "}], "identifier": "2977", "issued": "2003-06-19T00:00:00", "keyword": ["correctional facilities", "drug treatment", "inmate programs", "program evaluation", "residential programs", "substance abuse", "substance abuse treatment", "treatment outcomes", "treatment programs"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2003-06-19T00:00:00", "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 Prison-Based Drug Treatment in Pennsylvania, 2000-2001    "}
