Abstract
Abstract Halfway houses that serve offender populations are community residences where adult or juvenile offenders live. Both for‐profit and not‐for‐profit halfway houses are designed to help offenders transition to mainstream society. Most facilities accommodate either males or females with specific needs, such as intensive supervision, counseling, short‐term residence, and assistance acquiring employment. Most residents in correctional halfway houses are satisfying conditions of probation, parole, or diversion. Some halfway house programs are designed to address specific treatment needs of offenders, for example, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, mental health problems, anger management, and vocational rehabilitation. Some halfway houses operate in conjunction with departments of correction; these often serve as work‐release centers or residences for offenders granted educational release.
