The Ridge House Residential Program, a short-term faith-based prisoner reentry program, is evaluated. The impact of religion and/or spirituality on program outcomes is also investigated. This article is comprised of the following sections: abstract; background; method; results according to the relationship between client religiosity/spirituality and other characteristics, completers versus dropouts, and faith's influence on program completion, program satisfaction, and self-rated progress; discussion and application to social work practice; and description of measures. The completion rate for this program is 67.4%, and "it is plausible to hypothesize that those who exit prison with a serious commitment to a new moral or prosocial life may desist from crime" (p. 211).
