This study examines the effects of drug abuse treatment on the behavior of drug-involved offenders during incarceration and offender characteristics associated with rule violations. Participants included 170 prerelease inmates with histories of drug abuse who were randomly assigned to either weekly cognitive-behavioral counseling or brief monthly supportive counseling for a 6-month period. During this period, three outcomes were examined: reclassification to greater security, self-reported commission of major rule violations, and citations received for these rule violations. Results of multivariate analyses indicated that cognitive-behavioral treatment was associated with reduced likelihood of reclassification to more secure facilities. Aspects of psychological functioning were also related to reclassification as well as to citations for major infractions.

Key Words: prisoners • drug abuse treatment • cognitive-behavioral counseling
