Importantly, we advocate for the practical expansion or alteration of visitation policies to ensure the greatest number of visits during a prison stay. Social support systems are crucial across many contexts.
We find that high-rate visits in the year before release is associated with lower odds of major/minor parole violations in the year after release, but has a lukewarm relationship with misconduct preceding release. We argue that a possible threshold effect is present that requires further attention.
New recent publication with my stellar co-author Dr. Amber Krushas (@amberkrushas.bsky.social). Are unique patterns of visitation in the months leading up to release related to both within-prison and post-release behavior? It's time to take another look: authors.elsevier.com/a/1l6SoAlNEp...
What better way to start my journey on @bsky.app than with a new article alert?! Do all prison program non-completers display similar correlates of non-completion? No! A more nuanced discussion is needed on unique retention strategies for those who dropout voluntary versus those who are removed.
