Re: boot camps

["Deborah Feldman" <dfeld@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Bill,
Regarding boot camp's effectiveness in reducing recidivism:   Camps were not
found to be effective, according to 1997,1998 meta-analyses by Doris
MacKenzie at the University of Maryland (one of the titles is What Works in
Corrections:  an Examination of Rehabilitation Programs Offered by
Washington State Department of Corrections.  College Park, MD: Crime
Prevention Program of the U of Maryland) You might find other info on this
topic at the Office of Justice Department's web site. (www.ojp.usdoj.gov)
