The study analyzed commitment, background, and criminal history variables. Program completers were those individuals who were paroled, discharged, or received a lateral transfer to another minimum security facility. Program noncompleters were those persons who either returned to a higher security facility or who escaped the MHHI facility in which they had been placed. Of the total 151 residents released from MHHI in 1979, 105 (70 percent) were program completers and 46 (30 percent) were noncompleters. The following variables, listed in rank order of significance, were found to be critical: number of furloughs, number of successful furlough outcomes, number of late under furlough outcomes, known drug use, and number of charges for property offenses. Seventeen other variables also were found to be critical. Tables and appended data are provided. (Author abstract modified)
