inmates participated in AOD programs at the five institutions between January 1 and November<br />
30 of 2000.15 Of these, 742 (26%) were TC inmates. This subsample constituted the experimental<br />
group.16 Many more inmates entered the less intensive Education (39%) and Outpatient (3 1%)<br />
programs. These inmates formed the total eligible comparison pool (i.e., prior to matching or use<br />
of statistical controls).<br />

Note. The “Alumni” category consists of successful TC graduates who have been returned to general population.<br />
While not strictly part of our study, we were able to track these inmates on the post-release outcome measures<br />
(drug relapse and recidivism).<br />
As noted previously, only a subset of inmates successfblly completed their AOD<br />
programs. The breakdown of program discharges is shown in Table 4. Out of 2,891 inmates<br />
examined during the study period (Jan. 1 - Nov. 20,2000), 2,858 (99%) had completed their<br />
0<br />
their prior treatment experience in Education or Outpatient programs (Le., total treatment<br />
exposure).<br />
Is Included in the total sample (n = 2,891) were all inmates currently enrolled in AOD programs<br />
as of the study start date of January 1,2000 (n = 822). A greater portion (n = 2,069) was<br />
admitted on or after January 1,2000. Comprehensive data, including inmate self-reports<br />
(collected at six-month time intervals) and outcome measures, were thus unavailable for some<br />
inmates enrolled but admitted prior to the study start date.<br />
l6 Recall that the Alumni group consisted of inmates that already successfblly completed a TC<br />
program and returned to general population. In some analyses, therefore, it is possible to add<br />
these inmates to the experimental group.<br />
