Borrowing from the successful TC model, the program discussed here incorporates additional faith-based modules in a jail or work release program setting.
Abstract
The therapeutic community (TC) is an increasingly utilized intervention model in corrections settings. Rarely do these TCs include faith-based curriculum other than that included in Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous programs as does the faith-based TC that serves as the basis for this article. Obstacles associated with program design and implementation, funding, data collection, efficacy, and outcomes are described with recommendations for ongoing and future stakeholders, policymakers, and service providers. 29 references (Published Abstract)
