Summary note

The purpose of this multisite program evaluation project was to provide detailed and systematic descriptions of participants and treatment program components for a sample of five drug treatment programs in local jails. Three of the programs were located in California: Jail Education and Treatment (JET), Deciding, Educating, Understanding, Counseling, and Evaluation (DEUCE), and Rebuilding, Educating, Awareness, Counseling, and Hope (REACH). Two programs were in New York State: Substance Abuse Intervention Division (SAID) and New Beginnings. The project was aimed at assessing program completion rates as well as 12-month post-release recidivism for program participants versus matched controls. Background information obtained about the participating offenders includes sex, race, age, education, marital status, and employment status, as well as history of drug use, previous drug treatment, mental illness, inpatient/outpatient episodes, and offenses and sentencing. Additional data cover program location, dates of release from the program and from jail, type of program termination, type of residence upon release, and anticipated post-custody treatment. Information on each conviction/disposition was obtained through state criminal information systems, and state-level criminal history data (rap sheets) were collected for both the treatment and comparison groups. The unit of analysis is arrest events.... Cf.: http://webapp.icpsr.umich.edu/cocoon/ICPSR-STUDY/06628.xml

Methodology note

• Data source: Program participants were interviewed by a program staff member or NCCD researcher at both program admission and release, using standardized forms. If personal interviews were not possible, information was obtained through client files and police records. Information on each conviction/disposition was obtained through state criminal information systems. State-level criminal history data (rap sheets) were also collected for the treatment and comparison groups. In the California sites, copies of rap sheets were provided by the jails. For the two New York sites, computerized data were obtained from the Division of Criminal Justice Services, Bureau of Research and Evaluation. State-level rather than county-level data were requested for all sites to capture the most serious convictions reported to the state (felonies) and to include convictions that occurred outside of the respective counties.
• Universe: Arrestees from five local jail sites in California and New York State with drug treatment programs.
