CHAPTER 3 - MAIN POSITION PAPER: LOW COST, HIGH VOLUME, and COMPUTER ASSISTED REHABILITATION PROGRAMS SPECIFICALLY DEVELOPED FOR LARGE PRISON POPULATIONS |
| The detailed paper which follows will comprehensively outline the history and development of computer assisted rehabilitation programs for prison populations. We will explain why we had to turn to computer assistance in order to overcome the nightmare of keeping prison programs valid. How computer assisted programs can be designed to overcome the severe deficits and failures of conventional correctional programs will be discussed. The following paper is an in depth, unedited, startling and truthful insider look at the myriad of extremely difficult problems that must be overcome to assure that prisoners are learning anything at all in the programs society pays for and provides for them. If you are at all interested in prison rehabilitation or programming you will find here a hard hitting, comprehensive and detailed look at why current substance abuse education and treatment programs are miserably failing with these chronic and difficult populations. RATIONAL: A 1977 analysis of prison population figures revealed that our nations prison and jail populations will reach two million by the year 2000 if current incarceration trends continue. (Prison Sentencing Project: www.sentencingproject.org/) Over the years, critics have contended that prison rehabilitation programs do not work, advocating prolonged prison sentences to keep criminals locked up and away from the general public.
