Examples of evidence-based programs in the adults in the Criminal Justice System

Day Reporting Centers: Adults attend cognitive behavioral programs designed to change their criminal behavior. There may be a focus on vocational skills and assistance with obtaining and maintaining employment. Each individual has a case manger to assist them with their individualized case plan. They may attend the program daily for the first phase and will decrease their time in the program as they move closer to graduation from the program.

Other evidence-based programs are curriculum-based such as Thinking for a Change (T4C), Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), or Aggressions Replacement Training (ART). These programs are led by trained staff and are skill-based.
