Summary: This publication explains how the “promise of work release, as it provides a means for individuals whose criminal activity has imposed costs on victims and taxpayers [effectively acts] to off set some of those expenses while at the same time advancing their own reentry into society as productive taxpayers who support their families” (p. 1). Sections following a summary of recommendations include: introduction; what work release is; how work release is employed in Texas in community corrections facilities, in transitional treatment centers, and other Texas work release-related programs past and present; work release delivers positive results—the Texas experience and the national experience; recommendations in detail; and conclusion. The use of transitional treatment centers saves $15.40 in costs per inmate per day or about $5,600 per inmate per year.
