Abstract
It is commonly believed that treatment services are best delivered by community treatment providers operating under contract with correctional agencies. Making use of Moos’s Correctional Institutional Environmental Scale, this study of the Substance Abuse Intervention Division (SAID) program for women at Riker’s Island suggests, however, that jail authorities can implement successfully a modified therapeutic community in a large jail, and that this approach to correctional administration can improve significantly the jail’s psycho-social climate.
