Title: MIDAS Outcome Evaluation: Final Report Summary: As more inmates are released to the community, states have begun to take a closer look at reentry processes and the factors related to successful offender adjustment back into the community. A recent study conducted by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PADOC) Office of Planning, Research, Statistics, and Grants found that parole violators have unrealistic expectations about life outside of prison, maintain antisocial values and beliefs, and lack the adequate skills to cope with everyday life issues (Bucklen & Zajac, 2005). In order to address these issues, PADOC developed the Making Intelligent Decisions and Succeeding (MIDAS) program, which is aimed to help parole violators overcome the obstacles to successful re-entry. Following the introduction, the report is divided into five sections. The first section provides an overview of the MIDAS program. The second section lists the research questions and outlines the methods used to address those questions. The third section presents the results from the outcome study. A summary of the findings is presented in the fourth section, and the fifth and final section provides recommendations based on the findings of this report."
