Star program parole

The Therapeutic Community TC program provides a range of therapeutic, outpatient, and resource programs for clients with a history of substance abuse needs. This involves the coordination and utilization of other interrelated programming to address the treatment needs of assigned clients.

Parole officers with specialized training collaborate with treatment providers to provide treatment and resources. A distinguishing feature is the emphasis on increased accountability for program participation. Parole officers respond to any non-compliance immediately for the purposes of reengagement in programming. Those meeting the qualifying criteria voluntarily participate in a six-month, in-cell, pre-release program, referred to as Phase I.

Phase I includes, but is not limited to, anger management, cognitive intervention, substance abuse programming and life skill classes. Initially, participants attend Court hearings weekly, but these decrease as they progress through the program.

A critical component of the STAR program is a system of rewards balanced with a range of intermediate sanctions and correctional interventions. Successful graduates earn up to a one year reduction of their supervised released. Unless counsel or parties have been expressly authorized to communicate with chambers, all appropriate oral and written communications are to be submitted to the Courtroom Deputy Clerk.

See Local Rules. It does this by providing training services through a self-paced, computer-assisted instructional program. Parolees can enter and exit the program at any time. In addition to a traditional curriculum, CLLC also develops custom curricula to assist parolees in obtaining and retaining employment. The CLLC provides more than computer workstations in 19 sites across the State, including parole offices.

PPCP also has a network of six Residential Multi-Service Centers RMSCs that provide support to homeless parolees transitioning to independent living in the community through a residential therapeutic environment. In addition to providing a stable residential environment, RMSCs provide employment, math and literacy skill development, substance abuse education, and recovery services, as well as services to help develop communication and problem-solving skills.

Employed parolees are required to save a certain percentage of their earnings in order to eventually transition to independent living. Parolees are allowed to reside in an RMSC for 6 months or up to a year with approval from a parole agent. The RMSCs also provide aftercare for 60 to 90 days. In addition, increasing levels of participation in PPCP services was associated with an even lower recidivism rate. Only Although only The study also showed that PPCP participants that failed to achieve any program goals about 53 percent were reincarcerated at the same rate as non—PPCP parolees.

This suggests that although participation in PPCP is associated with lower rates of recidivism, most of the positive effects were concentrated among parolees who received at least one full dose of services. The results of the logistic regression confirmed the advantage experienced by PPCP participants. The odds of non—PPCP parolees being reincarcerated within 12 months of parole release were 1.

The odds of reincarceration were 2. Non—PPCP parolees were 7. Program effects were further analyzed by treatment services provided to PPCP participants.
