These programs were maintained through the\r\njoint management of the state Department of Corrections (DOC), Board\r\nof Probation and Parole, Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and\r\nDelinquency, and two private sector providers that operated the\r\nprograms. Opened in early 1998 in two correctional facilities for men,\r\neach of these programs could serve up to 60 male technical parole\r\nviolators (TPVs) with a history of substance abuse. Instead of the\r\nnine- to 36-month terms typical for parolees recommitted for\r\nviolations, RSAT participants served six months in prison-based\r\nintensive therapeutic communities (TCs), followed by six months of\r\naftercare in a DOC-sponsored Community Corrections Center (CCC),\r\nsimilar to a halfway house. Both programs took a cognitive-behavioral\r\napproach to drug treatment. This study focused on the prison-based\r\ncomponent of the RSAT programs. It examined the extent to which\r\ncomponents of RSAT treatment were in place and the integrity of\r\nprogram operations. Interviews for this study were conducted between\r\nFebruary and December 1998. At intake, program staff interviewed RSAT\r\nparticipants (Part 1, Intake Data), and Vera Institute of Justice\r\nonsite researchers conducted participant interviews upon exit (Part 2,\r\nExit Data). Through December 31, 1998, 160 intake interviews and 77\r\nexit interviews with program graduates were administered.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03075.v1", "title": "Evaluation of Pennsylvania's Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Program for Drug-Involved Parole Violators, 1998"}], "identifier": "2972", "issued": "2003-05-09T00:00:00", "keyword": ["aftercare", "correctional facilities", "drug offenders", "drug treatment", "parole violation", "parolees", "process evaluation", "residential programs", "treatment outcome", "treatment programs"], "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}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "Evaluation of Pennsylvania's Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Program for Drug-Involved Parole Violators, 1998"}
