Correctional programs can easily fail in the process of implementation.
There are legions of examples of programs that have been properly conceptualized but poorly implemented. They have failed to adhere to the key principles of effective correctional treatment. For these reasons, we paid particular attention to the process of implementation. Extensive consultation was conducted with line managers and staff in order to explain the approach, outline plans, and ensure their support for the program. These coaches were trained in an intensive and structured ten-day workshop that gave them considerable opportunity to practice program delivery.
