Six states are represented in this evaluation of Federally funded programs: California, "Donovan Prison Therapeutic Community Program;" Colorado, "Intensive Supervision Probation Program;" Florida, "Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation Programs for Offenders;" Illinois "Gang Violence Reduction Project;" Iowa, "Batterer's Education Program;" and New York "Drug Treatment Alternative to Prison Program." Identified as effective programs, they become models for other states and localities to replicate. Appendix A provides guidelines and criteria for nomination of effective programs.
