Each year between FY00 and FY03, 63 percent
of offenders successfully completed their stay in the halfway
house.1 In FY03, the per diem rate
paid to community corrections providers was reduced by 8 percent,
and the daily amount offenders were required to pay was increased
by over 23 percent. In FY04 the successful completion rate
dropped to 56 percent. Besides these legislative changes in
costs, there is nothing to explain this increase in offender
failures in FY04.2 |

Notes on these data:
1 Successfully complete means that the
offender left the halfway house program with a positive status;
the offender either completed their court sentence or were transferred
to another, less restrictive and non-residential sentencing placement.
