Electronic House Arrest and Boot Camp in North Carolina: Comparing Recidivism

Using official data records, this study examined differences in recidi vism - defined as fingerprinted rearrest - among participants in two wide ly used intermediate sanctions, electronic house arrest (N=331) and boot camp prison (N=309). Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of recidivism. Participation in the boot camp program, as opposed to electronic house arrest was consistently associated with avoiding rearrest, and race (African-American) was associated with being rearrested for several categories of offense. The conclusion was that although techno logical advances may be of significant assistance to correctional practi tioners, such advances alone are not the magic bullet that will insure future compliance with the law.
