Topics:
Description : NBOP/DPS propose to create a violence-reduction (VRP) aftercare program and CBI groups which maintain an open group structure to effectively reduce the recidivism rate of high-risk parole clients, particularly those who have been identified as likely to reoffend violently as well as those who have failed on community supervision previously. This project will result in the development and implementation of VRP Aftercare and CBI Open Groups; deliverables for this project will include a complete program curriculum and structure documentation for each program, action plan for implementation, and both a midterm and final report assessing the effectiveness of both groups. Funding will be expended on the following program design elements: creation of curriculum and group materials, documents related to group implementation to allow for creation of a standardized model, training of staff (clinicians across Nebraska), and formal evaluation of both groups using propensity-score matching or other appropriate quasi-experimental methodology. Mandatory program components for this project include the creation of each group as well as the evaluation which will produce both formative and summative program assessments. These groups are intended to serve approximately 50 clients through the VRP Aftercare and approximately 150-200 clients in the CBI Open Groups over the duration of the grant period (in the 30-month implementation phase). Baseline recidivism data indicate that 50.0% of parole clients who completed the evidence-based VRP program while in a Nebraska prison facility will return to prison on a parole revocation due to new laws violations or technical violations. With respect to the full parole population, 27.1% have been identified as recidivating; recidivism is defined here as revocation of parole due to new law or technical violations or readmission to a Nebraska prison facility. Currently, NBOP/DPS utilize the Ohio Risk Assessment System (ORAS) to identify risk and needs for clients on community supervision; this tool will be employed to target the highest-risk parole violators for CBI Open Groups. In conjunction with this risk assessment tool, NBOP/DPS will utilize the decision-making guidelines to identify participants who have completed the facility-based VRP program for VRP Aftercare groups.
