Period: 2017-10 to 2019-09
Outcomes achieved: The final evaluation report estimated that JIR PFS participation was associated with a statistically significant decrease of 24 days in jail per participant relative to the comparison group over the 12-month post-housing period. This was associated with a statistically significant decrease in jail service costs of $16,891 per participant. We also found a significantly greater number of average probation days—125 more days—among PFS participants relative to the comparison group over the 12-month post-housing period and an associated increased cost of $672 per participant.
