Expert and Offender Perceptions of Program Elements Linked to Successful Outcomes for Incarcerated Women

This article summarizes findings from a national study on promising correctional programs for women offenders. Information is provided about program characteristics that experts identify as predictive of positive outcomes. Similarities among correctional experts' and program participants' responses included characteristics of staff and individualized programming. Differences in perceptions of elements contributing to successful outcomes also were found. State-level administrators attributed success to methods of program operations, whereas prison administrators attributed success to treatments addressing multiple treatment needs. Results are relevant to program design, program implementation, and the generation of hypotheses linking program elements to outcomes.
