Program Evaluation Summary
After two years of operation, the Sheridan Correctional Center Therapeutic Community continues to successfully treat inmates with substance abuse problems while providing services to increase post-release employability and reduce the risk of re-arrest and re-imprisonment. This Program Evaluation Summary updates an October 2004 evaluation report on the program and includes an overview of the population served, analyses of graduation and removal rates, and an assessment of the post-release success of program graduates in terms of re-arrest, return to prison, and employment.
