Exploring Reentry Concerns of Incarcerated Individuals with Severe Mental Illness
The impact of Covid-19 on the treatment of opioid use disorder in carceral facilities: A cross-sectional study
While the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted healthcare delivery everywhere, persons with carceral system involvement and opioid use disorder (OUD) were disproportionately impacted and vulnerable to severe COVID-associated illness. Carceral settings and community treatment programs (CTPs) rapidly developed protocols to sustain healthcare delivery while reducing risk of COVID-19 transmission. This survey study assessed changes to OUD treatment, telemedic…
Virtual reality for law enforcement training: A demonstration and implication for dispatch priming
We conducted an experimental evaluation of virtual training experiences (VTE) for law-enforcement training during an international policing conference (American Society of Evidence Based Policing). Among the volunteers (N = 77), 30% were female and 70% males with 49% employed in law enforcement and 51% in other occupations. Participants were outfitted with a controller gun, holster, and a virtual-reality headset. Each of four scenarios used invol…
Mindfulness Training for Correctional Staff: A Randomized Pilot Study
Corrections staff experience high levels of stress in their jobs, often leading to turnover, absenteeism, psychosomatic diseases, and burnout. Stress can contribute to myriad professional and personal challenges such as depression, poor physical health, family conflict, and decreased life/job satisfaction. In efforts to develop wellness trainings specifically for corrections staff, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PADOC) conducted a sm…
Correlates of heroin and methamphetamine use among homeless male ex-jail and prison offenders
Homeless men exiting California State jails and prisons are a heterogeneous community with varied childhood, incarceration and drug use histories. This cross-sectional study assessed whether homeless men who were discharged from either jail or prison into a residential substance abuse treatment program, differed in terms of methamphetamine and heroin use. This study utilized baseline data collected on 540 recently paroled men randomized to one of…

A Preliminary Examination of Offender Needs Assessment: Are All Those Questions Really Necessary
Criminologists generally agree that offender recidivism can be reduced by addressing the criminogenic needs of this population. Two prominent assessments of offender risks and needs are the Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R) and the Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions (COMPAS). Both predict recidivism, but they are largely based on data from records. In contrast, the determination of inmates' service needs…
Prevalence and correlates of lifetime suicidal ideation among HIV-infected male inmates in Taiwan
The purpose of this study was to explore the prevalence and correlates of lifetime suicidal ideation (SI) among HIV-infected male inmates. All participants in seven prisons, comprising roughly 20% of all HIV-infected male inmates in Taiwan, were stratified by geographic location and surveyed using a self-administered, anonymous questionnaire. The five-item Brief Symptom Rating Scale (BSRS-5) was used on 535 participants to measure various dimensi…
Recidivism Among an Early Cohort of California's Proposition 36 Offenders
Research Summary: In November 2000, California voters approved the Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act (SACPA), also known as “Proposition 36,” which gives adults convicted of nonviolent drug possession offenses the option of participating in drug treatment in lieu of incarceration. Using data from an earlier evaluation of community treatment programs, we examined the subsample of clients admitted to drug treatment during the law's first six…
Methamphetamine Use and HIV Risk Among Substance-Abusing Offenders in California
Recent epidemiological surveys of illicit substance use show a particularly high prevalence of methamphetamine use in the western and southwestern United States-most notably California. Moreover, in their analysis of 1995 Drug Use Forecasting data, Anglin and colleagues (1998) found that methamphetamine was a preferred substance among California arrestees. The present study uses data from 807 state prison inmates in California (32% of whom report…
The Effect of Drug Treatment on Criminal Behavior among Adolescents in Datos-A
This study examined criminal activity among 1,167 adolescents who participated in a community-based substance abuse treatment study (Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Studies for Adolescents) (DATOS-A). The primary goals of this study were to assess the effect of substance abuse treatment on adolescent crime and to identify the patient characteristics that were most closely associated with reductions in crime during the posttreatment period. Results c…
A Health Services Use Framework for Drug-Abusing Offenders
This article reviews the recent literature on health services use by drug abusers. A revised Andersen-Newman model is posited as a theoretical orientation for health service initiatives focused on drug abuse. The model highlights specific predisposing factors, historical health factors, current illness factors, and enabling/mediating factors associated with drug abuse. The limited number of cost-effectiveness studies have demonstrated that public…
Early Victimization, Drug Use, and Criminality: A Comparison of Male and Female Prisoners
Comparative analysis of the relative victimization of 1,030 adult male prisoners and 500 adult female prisoners in Texas reveals significant gender differences in childhood and adult maltreatment and subsequent substance use and criminality. Female inmates report significantly more maltreatment as children than do male inmates. Moreover, the maltreatment of women increases when they become adults, whereas the maltreatment of men drops sharply. Th…

Substance Use among Texas Hispanics and Non-Hispanics: Who's Using, Who's Not, and Why
The prevalence ofpast-yearand lifetime substance use, problem indicators, and the most important reasons for abstaining (among nonusers) were compared between Texas Hispanics and non-Hispanics, as well as among three subgroups of Hispanics who represented different levels of acculturation: Mexican born (i.e., least acculturated), U.S. born but relatively unacculturated, and U.S. born/highly acculturated. In general, prevalence rates among Hispani…
