Evaluation research on prison-based drug treatment programs and some policy implications.
Prison-based drug treatment programs in the United States have been in existence for over 20 years. However, it is only in the last few years that they have been available on a large scale. The effects of these programs on recidivism rates tend to be mixed. Given the relatively modest costs, prison administrators may feel the costs are justified even when marginal results are obtained.
