The 25 programs operating in 14 states serve young adults, primarily between the ages of 18 and 25 in the adult correction system. The survey shows that most correctional boot camp programs only admit males with histories of nonviolent crimes. Participants must be physically and mentally fit and are between 17 and 25. Usually participation is mandated by a judge and connected with shock incarceration followed by community supervision. The programs vary from six weeks to six months. Most house 100 to 200 participants at a time. About half provide vocational training and educational preparation. Generally, some form of counseling is offered, and most have some participants that enter Alcoholic Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous programs. Some programs are tougher to succeed in than others. Two programs fail 40 to 45 percent of their participants. The rest have failure rates of less than 10 percent. Many Juvenile Corrections Agencies throughout the country have shown interest in Boot Camps, but have not thoroughly embraced the concept. 4 tables
