摘要: Abstract This study estimated the impact of an in-prison, therapeutic community (TC) substance abuse treatment program on management costs in a California prison. A deconstruction method was developed to estimate opportunity cost staff time and other resources involved various prison administrative tasks. Compared “non-treatment” yards within facility, TC environment generated lower for disciplinary actions, inmate grievances, major disruptive incidents resulting lockdowns. These findings suggest that, addition their intended rehabilitative outcomes, prison-based TCs may foster institutional environments that help control costs.
