With the support of the Open Society Institutes Community Fellow program, Choice Research Associates (CRA) was been engaged by Elizabeth Finne to develop and implement an evaluation plan for the PREpare for PArole and REentry Project. Activities included a review of the literature which briefly examines the existing literature on parole outcomes on female offenders as well as challenges, barriers and outcomes and ascertain if similar parole preparation programs exist (see review here) CRA has conducted the Program Development Evaluation (PDE) Process to set out the long- and short-term goals and process measures, and is also supporting PREPARE in the development of a database to ensure decisions made in the PDE process are captured.
