Abstract:
Offenders serving life sentences comprise one-fifth of the total offender population and this number has grown by more than 20% over the past ten years. Lifers are a unique subset of the general offender population and are subject to lengthy periods of incarceration and indefinite supervision upon release. Despite their growing numbers, very few programs or interventions address the particular needs of Lifers. LifeLine is a national program that provides in-reach and community services to offenders serving life or indeterminate sentences. Previous research on the efficacy of LifeLine has been mostly qualitative in nature and though the program was viewed positively by those involved, there has been little in the way of quantitative investigation to-date. The current study focused on the analysis of existing quantitative data in order to demonstrate the impact of LifeLine on institutional outcomes.
