2. Inmates who have substance abuse problems are often associated with increased inmate misconduct, mental illness, relapse, criminality, recidivism, behavioral disorders, and often experience a decrease in relationships, level of education and employment upon returning to the community. Therapeutic communities are treatment groups designed to divert drug users from the criminal justice system. These communities are associated with low rates of infractions, reduced absenteeism among correctional staff, and virtually no illicit drug use among prisoners. The therapeutic community approach focuses on the total environment and uses all the experiences of that environment as the basic tools for therapeutic intervention.
3. Sex offenders are 6 times more likely to commit another sex crime while in prison rather than another inmate with a non sexual crime, also they have a more difficult time adapting to prison life because they essentially have a target drawn on their back because of the crime they committed. They are more likely to be killed or sexually assaulted if not placed in protective custody. Civil commitment facilities have shown and proven that they are an effective treatment method for sex offenders because it isn’t like prison where they have a set sentence, they can leave or graduate once they show the staff and state that they have been rehabilitated enough to be released to the public that they were locked out of.
