Evidence-based rehabilitative programming refers to structured interventions in the justice system that are proven through research to reduce recidivism, promote safety within correctional environments, and support successful reentry. These programs focus on addressing the root causes of criminal behavior, such as a lack of education and employment skill that have been evaluated to work. Some of these programs are environmental interventions aimed at mirroring the conditions of the carcel setting with the outside world.

The Superior Court Drug Intervention Program (“Drug Court”) was established in 1993 as an alternative to incarceration for nonviolent defendants with substance use disorders. It employs a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team—including judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, probation officers, and clinical providers—to guide participants through intensive supervision, evidence-based treatment, and a system of incentives and sanctions.
This Information Session will teach you about the various Risk and Needs Assessment Tools used by criminal justice agencies in the District of Columbia.
Risk and Needs Assessment Tools are a form of data-driven actuarial tools that can assist with decision-making around supervision, management, and treatment of justice-involved populations. These tools input a variety of factors including static factors like: age, gender, past criminal history, and dynamic factors like: employment status, drug use, or living situations and produce a risk or needs score.
Join us for a public meeting featuring a panel discussion on adult community supervision pre-and-post conviction in the District of Columbia.
