“Theyclaim that the Illinois Department of Corrections’ drug treatment program at Sheridan penitentiary discharged inmates who were “40 percent less likely to be arrested a year later and 85 percent less likely to return to prison.” This statistic stating incredible success indicates the data should be re-checked because it is probably false, or it misinterprets the rate of recidivism from the treatment program.
A drug treatment venue claiming a rate of success approaching 85 percent for criminals with chronic addiction issues would be the world’s best program, and it seems way too good to be true.
