Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Justice Under Pressure analyzes the effects of prison crowding on the justice system. The authors focus on dramatic changes in the administration of criminal justice in Texas during the 1980s and the influence of those changes on the three-year survival rates among parolees released between 1984 and 1987. Setting out to identify differences in recidivism and the crime rate as a result of the changes instituted in Texas, the authors report the findings of their comparative "survival analysis" of 4 successive cohorts of parolees, plus a chapter specifically directed at a comparative analysis of an emergency release cohort. The final chapter compares prison construction policies and crime rate trends in Texas and California to highlight the major policy implications of the findings. This book is of particular interest to criminologists, forensic psychologists, forensic psychiatrists, and students in these fields.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this research study was to address the gap in the research literature that existed concerning the absence of qualitative data addressing relapse and recidivism in Texas. Numerous quantitative studies dealt with these issues. However, gaps in the literature existed because accounts and opinions of specific participants regarding these conclusions were absent. Consequently, we lacked specific direction. The perspective of the individual, the insider, was missing. This study helped determine the meaning of "making it" for the parolee/addict attempting to assimilate into the general population and avoid relapse and recidivism. Toachieve the research objectives, an ethnographic interview methodology was utilized. The population engaged in the study included male parolees who live in Harris County Texas. All men gained parole between 1992 and 1994, hold positions as professionals in substance abuse counseling, and reported ten years or more of drug free and crime free living. The literature review established the documented need and importance for a qualitative study. The literature defined recidivism according to Texas state officials. The literature considered achievement of parolees who attended the Windham School District. The final section of literature considered the development and operation of the In Prison Therapeutic Community (IPTC) program. The findings from the interviews determined that "making it" consisted of working the twelve-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), meeting with parole officers, dealing with risky behaviors, and remaining committed to a drug free and crime free life. Study participants expressed that state record keeping appeared inaccurate and presented a false picture regarding the actual number of drug related arrests and the actual long-term recidivism rate. The participants noted that the Windham School District exhibited a major influence in making a conscious decision to turn toward positive outcomes. Itwas recommended that the role of the Windham School District be expanded due to the record of achievement. Other recommendations included the establishment of a longitudinal study of Texas parolees to exceed five years in duration to check long-term recidivism rates and an ethnographic study that focused on the members of the Winner's Circle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of parole in the United States has undergone significant change during recent decades. Since 1980, inmates have been increasingly released through mandatory rather than discretionary means. Using a sample of over thirty-eight thousand inmates released from fifteen states in 1994, logistic regression and survival analysis methods were used to determine the differences in recidivism between those released by discretionary and mandatory methods. Results demonstrate that there was a statistically significant difference in recidivism, based on re-arrest, between those released from prison by these two methods. There were no statistically significant differences based on method of release when reconviction and re-confinement in prison were used as the measures of recidivism. The results of the logistic regression showed that offenders released by a parole board were 44 percent less likely to be rearrested within 3 years of release. Additionally, Kaplan-Meier survival graphs showed that mandatory release inmates had a median re-arrest date about 10 months earlier than paroled inmates. Finally, a Cox Proportional Hazard survival analysis was employed using gender, race, age, criminal history, and offense type as control variables. The results demonstrated that offenders released by discretionary parole release had a 31 percent lower hazard of re-arrest than mandatory release offenders.

Book excerpt: "[The report] finds that supervision -– probation and parole -– drives high numbers of people, disproportionately those who are Black and brown, right back to jail or prison, while in large part failing to help them get needed services and resources. In states examined in the report, people are often incarcerated for violating the rules of their supervision or for low-level crimes, and receive disproportionate punishment following proceedings that fail to adequately protect their fair trial rights."--Publisher website.
