"Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) has completed an in-depth evaluation of its Challenge Incarceration Program (CIP) boot camp and found that it has saved taxpayer dollars and reduced recidivism. The report looked at all CIP offenders since the program began in 1992, one of the longest periods for such an evaluation. It compared CIP participants with a control group with similar criminal factors."
The full evaluation report, an executive summary, and a brief PowerPoint with report findings are available at http://www.doc.state.mn.us/CIPevaluation.htm
