ABSTRACT
Unfortunately, there have not been many empirical studies of day-reporting centers. Latessa, Travis, Holsinger, and Hartman (1998) examined five pilot day-reporting programs in Ohio. Offenders from the day-reporting programs were compared to offenders supervised under regular probation, intensive program, and those released from prison. Rearrest and incarceration rates for each group are presented in Figures 10.4 and 10.5 . Rates of rearrest for the day-reporting group were slightly higher than those reported for the other groups. The incarceration rates indicate that the day-reporting group performed slightly better than those offenders supervised under intensive supervision, worse than those on regular probation, and similar to those released from prison. Noteworthy, the authors also found that the quality of the treatment provided by the five day-reporting centers in this study was judged to be poor.
