Tempest in a Therapeutic Community: Implementation and Evaluation Issues for Faith-Based Programming
Scott, Diane L.; Crow, Matthew S.; Thompson, Carla J.
Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, v49 n1 p39-51 2010
The therapeutic community (TC) is an increasingly utilized intervention model in corrections settings. Rarely do these TCs include faith-based curriculum other than that included in Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous programs as does the faith-based TC that serves as the basis for this article. Borrowing from the successful TC model, the program discussed here incorporates additional faith-based modules in a jail or work release program setting. Obstacles associated with program design and implementation, funding, data collection, efficacy, and outcomes are described with recommendations for ongoing and future stakeholders, policy-makers, and service providers.
