1. Challenge Incarceration Program (CIP)
2. CIP Community Phases 2 & 3 Minimum of 6 months each of intensive community supervision
Face-to-face agent contacts, alcohol and drug testing, mandatory work/education, community service
Aftercare treatment programming
3. CIP Evaluation 2006 Looked at all CIP offenders since the program began in 1992
Examined three areas:
- Has the demographic composition of the CIP population changed significantly in the last 5 years? If so, why?
- Does CIP significantly reduce offender recidivism?
- Does CIP reduce costs?
4. CIP Evaluation – Offender Profile A review of CIP offenders in the last 5 years found:
Average age increased from 29 to 32
Greater Minnesota participants grew from 37% to 48%
Meth offenders increased from 4% to 60%
5. CIP Evaluation – Recidivism Does CIP significantly reduce offender recidivism?
Compared recidivism rates of 1,347 CIP offenders from FY93-02 with a control group of 1,555 inmates released during same time period
Average follow-up period was 7.2 years (second longest of any boot camp evaluation to date)
Recidivism defined as:
Felony reconviction
Reimprisonment for a new crime
Any return to prison, for a new crime or a technical violation
6. Recidivism Study Results
CIP decreased chances of reconviction for new felony by 32%
CIP decreased chances of reimprisonment for new crime by 35%
CIP offenders less likely than control group to be reimprisoned for a person offense
When defining recidivism as any return to prison, CIP did not have a statistically significant impact
CIP offenders are more likely to return to prison for technical violation (55% vs. 27% control group)
Conversely, the control group was more likely to return for a new crime (73% vs. 45% CIP)
7. CIP Evaluation – Cost Savings Does CIP reduce costs?
From FY93 to FY02, CIP has reduced costs by $18.1 million through saved bed days and recidivism reduction
