A transitional strategy to facilitate reintegration of offenders by way of maximum-security step down treatment oriented facility within which both their security requirements and treatments need could be adequately met is proposed. The results report that more than 80% of the offenders were reintegrated into a lower security facility without relapsing and being returned to the supermaximum institutions within a follow-up period of 20 months.

Criminals by choice

Article Abstract:

Criminal behavior should be explained as a matter of individual choice. Society credits its most successful members for exercising free choice in achieving their accomplishments. The same standard should be applied to criminals. Explaining crime as a condition of social inadequacies such as poverty makes criminals victims rather than victimizers. It also discredits the many people who suffered the same deprivations but did not turn to crime.
