Abstract

The State of Oregon has operated an early prison release program called Short-Term Transitional Leave (STTL) since 1989. The program was designed to improve prison releasee reentry planning and reintegration in the community. In the last 10 years, Oregon expanded STTL several times, with individuals now being released up to 120 days early. We assessed whether differences in recidivism existed between STTL and those completing their planned sentence and if the length of their leave is associated with differential recidivism. We used propensity-score matching (PSM) to create quasi-experimental models. The results indicate no appreciable observed associations between STTL and rearrest, reconviction, or reincarceration. However, there were higher rates of technical violations among STTL participants, especially for those with the longest release time.

俄勒冈州的过渡休假计划和累犯

自1989年以来，俄勒冈州一直在实施一项名为短期过渡休假(STTL)的早期监狱释放计划。该方案的目的是改进监狱释放人员重返社会的规划和重新融入社区。在过去的10年里，俄勒冈州多次扩大STTL，现在个人被提前120天释放。我们评估了STTL和那些完成计划刑期的人在再犯方面是否存在差异，以及他们的假期长短是否与不同的再犯有关。我们使用倾向分数匹配(PSM)来创建准实验模型。结果表明，在STTL和再逮捕、再定罪或再监禁之间没有明显的关联。然而，在STTL参与者中存在较高的技术违规率，特别是对于那些发布时间最长的参与者。
