PRESENTS AN OVERVIEW OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PAROLE RESOURCE CENTERS PROGRAM UNDER FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDING AND FOCUSES ON THE PROGRAM SERVICES OFFERED BY THE FOUR NEW YORK CITY YMCA CENTERS.

Abstract

AS PART OF THE REVIEW OF THESE NEW YORK CITY CENTERS, A SURVEY OF 113 PROGRAM PAROLEES WAS CONDUCTED TO COMPILE STATISTICAL INFORMATION ON THEIR PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS, PRIOR CRIMINAL RECORDS, PROGRAM PERFORMANCE AND ARREST EXPERIENCES DURING A ONE YEAR PERIOD FOLLOWING THEIR RELEASE FROM THE PROGRAM TO REGULAR PAROLE. ON THE BASIS OF THE REPORT'S FINDINGS, THE PRESENT STUDY CONCLUDES THAT THE FOUR NEW YORK CITY YMCA CENTERS WITH THEIR INTENSIVE PROGRAM SERVICES APPEAR TO ENABLE THE INVOLVED PAROLEES TO ENTER THE COMMUNITY BETWEEN THREE TO SIX MONTHS EARLIER THAN THEIR EXPECTED RELEASE DATES WITHOUT UNDULY ENDANGERING THE COMMUNITY.
