Objectives

We test the effects of assignment to a collaborative model of post-release community supervision (PRCS), which emphasizes release planning, prioritizes the officer-client relationship, and invites the client to actively participate in their reentry process.

Methods

Conditionally exogenous assignment of 261 high-risk, male clients to the collaborative Pathways Home Program or a traditional PRCS supervision model. All clients were released from California state prison to PRCS in Alameda County, California, between December 31, 2018, and July 31, 2020.

Results

We find that clients assigned to the collaborative model are 17 percentage points (p < 0.01) more likely than the control group to report to their first probation meeting within the required 48 h following release. In the longer-term, we find that intervention clients are 14 percentage points (p < 0.05) less likely to have their probation revoked during the year following release, relative to those assigned to the traditional probation model.

Conclusions

Results demonstrate that a collaborative model of post-release community supervision holds promise for helping high-risk clients successfully complete their supervision term.

出狱后社区监管改革成效

目标

我们测试了分配到发布后社区监督 (PRCS) 协作模型的效果，该模型强调发布计划，优先考虑官员与客户的关系，并邀请客户积极参与他们的重新进入过程。

方法

有条件地将 261 名高风险男性客户分配到协作Pathways Home 计划或传统的 PRCS 监督模式。2018 年 12 月 31 日至 2020 年 7 月 31 日期间，所有客户都从加利福尼亚州监狱释放到加利福尼亚州阿拉米达县的 PRCS。

结果

 我们发现分配到协作模型的客户比对照组在发布后所需的 48 小时内向他们的第一次试用会议报告的可能性高17 个百分点（p < 0.01）。 从长远来看，我们发现干预客户在释放后一年内被撤销缓刑的可能性比传统缓刑模型低14 个百分点 ( p < 0.05)。

结论

结果表明，发布后社区监督的协作模式有望帮助高风险客户成功完成其监督期限。
