The IIIP is a prison alternative for first-time prison offenders under 30 years of age with a sentence of 5 years or less, and second-time prison offenders under 36 years of age who have received a sentence of up to 8 years. The IIIP is designed to promote lawful behavior in offenders by providing a structured, specialized program that develops responsibility, self-esteem and a positive self-concept, while also addressing the underlying issues that often lead to criminal behavior and substance abuse. The program promotes public safety through risk management in the selection of participants and reduces the demand for prison bedspace by shortening the time to serve for successful participants. The report provides a statistical overview of eligible offenders recommended to the program; descriptive information about programmatic issues and their impact on the Illinois Department of Corrections; and program participant flow data, recidivism and cost analyses.
