Intensive Supervision Program in New Jersey, 1983-1986
Description
These data evaluate the New Jersey Intensive Supervision
Program (ISP), a program implemented by the New Jersey Department of
Corrections in 1983-1986. The central premise of ISP is that certain
felony offenders sentenced to prison can be resentenced to a program of
intensive supervision in which they are successfully supervised in the
community. The data collection evaluates the impact of ISP on
recidivism rates, prison space availability, and cost effectiveness and
also assesses the opinions of criminal justice professionals toward the
program. In the first file data collected on four types of sentenced
felons include education, psychological condition, financial status,
substance abuse, prior and follow-up criminal records, earning and
payment records, sentence and correctional histories, and case
characteristics including sentences, offenses, and other dispositions.
The second file presents data on type of criminal justice professional
interviewed, opinion scale scores on aspects of ISP, and suggestions
for ISP.
