Title: Predicting and Reducing Recidivism: Factors Contributing to Recidivism in the State of Montana Pre-release Center Population & the Issue of Measurement: A report with recommendations for policy change. Summary: Between July of 2005 and August of 2006 The University of Montana’s professors, Tim Conley and David Schantz, assisted by teams of social work graduate students, paid site visits to all five of the State of Montana’s Department of Corrections, Community Corrections Prerelease Centers. The primary purposes of these visits was twofold: 1) to collect data by which predictive models of Pre-release Center recidivism could be developed and 2) to assess the state of records with an eye to establishing a data system that provides valid, reliable resident data to be used in program and resident outcomes studies. Helena and Butte were visited once each; Great Falls and Missoula were visited twice. At these four centers a representative systematic research sample of paper records were reviewed and data gathered on a variety of variables. At the fifth center, Billings, information was gathered from electronic records. This report will describe the sample and its characteristics along with selected statistical analyses generated from the data gathered at the Pre-release Centers (PRCs). Additional data secured from the State of Montana’s Advanced Computing and Information Systems (ACIS) was used to validate the sample and was sometimes incorporated into the analyses presented here. The second component of this report provides observations of current data collection and recording practices in the PRC system and specific recommendations for improvements. The third component of this report provides observations and preliminary recommendations regarding the intake assessment of residents in the PRC system. Finally, a summary of intervention/behavior change tools being utilized in the PRC system is provided with basic observations as to refinement of their use for improved effectiveness as outcome measures.
