  • The Parolee–Parole Officer Relationship as a Mediator of Criminal Justice Outcomes
    Criminal Justice and Behavior, 2015
    Co-Authors: Brandy L. Blasko, Peter D. Friedmann, Anne Rhodes, Faye S. Taxman
    Abstract:

    Although psychotherapy literature identifies the client-therapist relationship as a key factor contributing to client outcomes, few studies have examined whether relationship quality among corrections populations and supervising officers influences outcomes. This is surprising given that many criminal justice intervention models include quality of the client-practitioner relationship. Parolees enrolled in a six-site randomized clinical trial, where they were assigned to a parole officer-therapist-client collaborative intervention designed to improve relationship quality (n = 253) or supervision as usual (n = 227), were asked to rate relationship quality with their supervising officer. RESULTS showed Parolees assigned to the intervention endorsed significantly higher relationship ratings and demonstrated a lower violation rate than those assigned to the control group. Ratings of the Parolee-parole officer relationship mediated the relationship between study condition and outcomes; better perceived relationship quality was associated with fewer drug use days and violations during the follow-up period, regardless of the study condition. FINDINGS are discussed as they pertain to supervision relationships. Keywords: Juvenile justice Language: en

  • parole officer Parolee relationships and hiv risk behaviors during community supervision
    Aids and Behavior, 2013
    Co-Authors: Faye S. Taxman, Traci C Green, Jennifer E Johnson, Magdalena Harrington, Enrique R Pouget, Anne Rhodes, Daniel J Oconnell, Steven S Martin, Michael Prendergast
    Abstract:

    We tested if good parole officer (PO)–Parolee relationships reduce HIV risk behaviors during parole, as they do for risk of rearrest. Analyses used data from 374 Parolees enrolled in a randomized clinical trial. Past month HIV risk behaviors were assessed by interview at baseline, 3- and 9-months after parole initiation. The Working Alliance Inventory and the Dual-Role Relationships Inventory measured PO relationship. Gender-stratified multivariate regressions tested associations of PO–Parolee relationship with sex with multiple partners, unprotected sex with risky partner(s), and drug injection. Women Parolees (n = 65) who reported better PO relationship characteristics were less likely to report having multiple sex partners [adjusted odds ratio: 0.82 (0.69, 0.98) at 3-months, 0.89 (0.80, 0.99) at 9-months], and, among those reporting multiple sex partners, had fewer partners on average [adjusted relative risk 0.98 (0.96, 0.99)]. These effects were not found among men. PO–Parolee relationship quality can influence sexual risk behaviors among women Parolees.

  • Collaborative behavioral management: integration and intensification of parole and outpatient addiction treatment services in the Step’n Out study
    Journal of Experimental Criminology, 2009
    Co-Authors: Peter D. Friedmann, Anne G Rhodes, Faye S. Taxman
    Abstract:

    Integration of community parole and addiction treatment holds promise for optimizing the participation of drug-involved Parolees in re-entry services, but intensification of services might yield greater rates of technical violations. Collaborative behavioral management (CBM) integrates the roles of parole officers and treatment counselors to provide role induction counseling, contract for pro-social behavior, and to deliver contingent reinforcement of behaviors consistent with contracted objectives. Attendance at both parole and addiction treatment are specifically reinforced. The Step’n Out study of the Criminal Justice–Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS) randomly allocated 486 drug-involved Parolees to either collaborative behavioral management or traditional parole with 3-month and 9-month follow-up. Bivariate and multivariate regression models found that, in the first 3 months, the CBM group had more parole sessions, face-to-face parole sessions, days on which parole and treatment occurred on the same day, treatment utilization and individual counseling, without an increase in parole violations. We conclude that CBM integrated parole and treatment as planned, and intensified Parolees’ utilization of these services, without increasing violations.

  • Effectiveness of Using Incentives to Improve Parolee Admission and Attendance in Community Addiction Treatment.
    Criminal justice and behavior, 2015
    Co-Authors: Michael Prendergast, Elizabeth A. H. Hall, Jason Grossman, Robert Veliz, Liliana Gregorio, Umme S. Warda, Kory Van Unen, Chloe Knight
    Abstract:

    This study is a randomized effectiveness trial of the use of incentives to improve treatment utilization among Parolees in community treatment. In prison, Admission Phase Parolees were randomized to either Admission Incentive (n = 31) or Education (n = 29). Attendance Phase Parolees entering community treatment were randomized to Attendance Incentive (n = 104) or Education (n = 98). In the Attendance Phase, study participants received a monetary incentive for each day that they remained in treatment (up to 22 weeks). There was no main effect for incentives in either phase of the study (Admission to community treatment, Incentive 60% and Education 64%, p =.74; Intervention completion, Incentive 22% and Education 27%, p =.46). Using Cox regression, age, first arrest age, and type of parole status predicted time-in-treatment (p Keywords: Juvenile justice Language: en

  • Improving Parolees' Participation in Drug Treatment and Other Services through Strengths Case Management.
    Perspectives (American Probation and Parole Association), 2008
    Co-Authors: Michael Prendergast, Jerome Cartier
    Abstract:

    In an effort to increase participation in community aftercare treatment for substance-abusing Parolees, an intervention based on a transitional case management (TCM) model that focuses mainly on offenders' strengths has been developed and is under testing. This model consists of completion, by the inmate, of a self-assessment of strengths that informs the development of the continuing care plan, a case conference call shortly before release, and strengths case management for three months post-release to promote retention in substance abuse treatment and support the participant's access to designated services in the community. The post-release component consists of a minimum of one weekly client/case manager meeting (in person or by telephone) for 12 weeks. The intervention is intended to improve the transition process from prison to community at both the individual and systems level. Specifically, the intervention is designed to improve outcomes in Parolee admission to, and retention in, community-based substance-abuse treatment, Parolee access to other needed services, and recidivism rates during the first year of parole. On the systems level, the intervention is intended to improve the communication and collaboration between criminal justice agencies, community-based treatment organizations, and other social and governmental service providers. The TCM model is being tested in a multisite study through the Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS) research cooperative funded by the National Institute of Drug Abuse.

  • Article Putting Parolees Back in Prison: Discretion and the Parole Revocation Process
    2016
    Co-Authors: Sara Steen, Tara Opsal, Peter Lovegrove, Shelby Mckinzey
    Abstract:

    As the prison population in the United States has ballooned over the past 30 years, people entering prison for parole revocation have come to constitute an increasingly large percentage of all prison admissions (35 % in 2006). As a result, researchers have begun to turn their attention toward this criminal justice decision-making point to examine the factors that relate to why an individual is returned to prison. Notably, this developing body of research focuses almost entirely on one decision maker: the parole board who ultimately determines whether or not an individual on parole stays in the community, receives alternative sanctions, or returns to prison. Notably, this ignores the fact that parole revocation is a process beginning with the Parolee who commits a violation behavior, turning next to the parole officer who uses his or her discretionary power to determine whether or not to file a complaint, and ending with the decision of the parole board. In this article, we examine each stage of this revocation process using structured qualitative interviews with 35 parole officers as well as quantitative data on 300 individuals on parole in Colorado between 2006 and 2007, who we followed for an 18-month period. We find that Parolees with mental health needs commit significantly more technical violations; that race, gender, age, and measures of Parolee effort affec
