ARE PRISON BOOT CAMPS AN EFFECTIVE FORM OF INCARCERATION?


12178. ARE PRISON BOOT CAMPS AN EFFECTIVE FORM OF INCARCERATION? Following a review of the literature on penal boot camps (tracing their history, goals, characteristics, use, evidence of effectiveness), this paper presents a research design for a study aimed at appraising the effectiveness of boot camps as an alternative to traditional incarceration. The proposed study, which compares outcomes for 500 boot camp inmates against outcomes for 500 match controls in traditional institutions, seeks to test the hypotheses that: a) prison boot camps are a cost-effective alternative to traditional incarceration; and b) prison boot camps are an effective alternative to traditional incarceration on prisoner outcome measures of recidivism and behavior change. Keywords: prison alternatives research design recidivism. 16p., 42f., 24b.   $112
