Shock Incarceration and Shock Parole supervision is a rigorous multi-treatment program that emphasizes discipline, academic education, substance abuse treatment and education, with group and individual counseling, all within a military structure. The report discusses the impact of the program with regard to costs, inmate educational achievement, inmate disciplinary activity, parole release decisionmaking, and community reintegration. It also includes a sample of the variety of community service projects engaged in by inmates in Shock facilities. Shock graduates were released an average of 11.5 months prior to completion of their court determined minimum period of incarceration. For the first 15,630 releases, savings amounted to an estimated $365 million in operating costs plus $135 million of avoided capital construction costs. Indications are that the early releases and cost savings were accomplished without compromising the community protection rights of the citizenry. Tables, figures, bibliography
