ABSTRACT

They study provide the information about whether boot camps are successful in reducing recidivism, prison populations, and operating costs. The report found that although boot camps generally had positive effects on attitudes and behaviors inmates during childbirth, these changes did not translate into reduced recidivism. Programs were often too short to have a lasting effect on inmates released to the community and missing, and a strong treatment model or sufficient preparation for reentry into the community. Boot camps efforts to achieve multiple goals contributed to conflicting results. For example, the elongation of the fields so that more treatment programs may be included, which reduced recidivism, also reduced the discount on time served and undercut lower prison bed costs.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Background

The imprisonment effect on recidivism is of critical importance especially for them who are interested in cost effectiveness and public safety of putting criminal in prison. Choen and Nagin (2008) suggests that "Opinions are divided between those advocating longer sentences in the interest of public safety and those advocating shorter sentences with the assumption that the conditions of detention, or imprisonment, not reduce recidivism rates”

Recidivism is a worthless concept of value when it comes to making practical judgments about human beings who are subject to criminal prosecution. There is simply no way to know what the recidivism rates really are. Most experts set; carefully executed studies are inevitably shot in with the variables and unknowns. (Mair 2007)

Rationale

Wide interest and expanded programming of incarceration programs, highlights the important aspects of the selection, training and retention allocated to these programs. High impact incarceration programs consist of a control environment interactions internal staff and inmate jail. Consequently, high impact programs must be carefully controlled against the excesses and abuse of authority.

Research question

What is recidivism? 

Why correctional program are measured by this factor?

What is the difference between prison shock incarceration and traditional prison?

Thesis statement

Prison shock incarceration camps are more cost efficient and has a more impact on lowering the rates of recidivism than standard.

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

Those who advocate longer judgments contend that long time span of incarceration disappoint lawless individuals free to consign other misdeeds (specific deterrence) and information of penalty principles disappoint would-be lawless individuals from committing misdeeds (general deterrence). These short sayings protecting against contend that the certainty of penalty is more significant than the ...
