First Year Of Boot Camp Evaluated
T he O regon D ep artm en t o f
I C orrections has released a legisla-
Itively m andated program evalua
t i o n of the O regon Sum m it boot
I cam p program. The report, prepared
I by researchers at Portland State U ni
versity, gives the program high
I m arks for being cost effective and
I in full com pliance with the Legisla-
Itu re ’s intent
The O regon Sum m it Program
I received its first platoons o f adult
1 felons in M arch and M ay, 1994.
The evaluation concentrated on the
progress o f these platoons, includ-
I ing selection, adm ission and orien-
I tation, m ilitary training, rehabi!ita-
I tion,
work and post-prison perfor-
I m ance o f graduates. It also address-
I es the fiscal impact o f the program
in term s o f bed day savings.
R esearcher D avid B lanchard,
I P h D ., o f PSU ’s C enter for Urban
Studies praised the boot cam p for
being,” ... year ahead o f others be
cause o f the integration o f a thera
peutic com ponent that gives offend
ers skills to enhance the probability
that they w o n ’t reoffend.” In to d a y ’s
dollars, the state would have realized
approxim ately three quarters o f a
m illion dollars in savings from these
platoons,” explains John Foote, d ep
uty director o f the D epartm ent o f
C orrections. “O nly one offender o f
55 graduates from platoons one and
tw o has been returned to prison, and
that offender w as returned not for
com m itting a new crim e,” he em pha
sized,” he em phasized but for violat
ing conditions o f his post-prison su
pervision.” An additional 33 gradu
ates o f the third platoon have also
returned to the com m unity without
incident, but w ere not studied in the
PSU evaluation.
The evaluation delves into many
o fth e operational aspects o f the Sum
m it Program . It discusses and m ea
sures the success o f the p rogram ’s
statutory com pliance with enabling
legislation, the delivery o f services
to inmates, behavioral change an d ,
progress o f inm ates, and post-re
lease behavior o f inmates.
