New disciplinary program for Pennsylvania drug offenders shows significant decline in re-arrest rates

Working with researchers at Drexel University, the Department of Corrections last year developed and implemented a new program, known as SIP-HOPE, within the State Intermediate Punishment (SIP) program at two Community Corrections Centers (CCCs).
“The results of this study show an impressive 13 percent reduction in re-arrests among SIP-HOPE participants,” said Bret Bucklen, director of research and planning for DOC. “Further, SIP-HOPE participants spent fewer days in prison or jail, demonstrating the ability of this approach to not only reduce crime but also to reduce the use of costly prison beds.”
