The Wild Mustang Program: A Case Study in Facilitated Inmate Therapy.
Cushing, Judy L.; Williams, James D.
Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, v22 n3-4 p95-115 1995
The Wild Mustang Program operated from 1988 to 1992 at a correctional facility. Inmate labor operated a horse adoption program. Findings suggest that inmate and staff perceptions about the program exceed the statistical evidence. The program was associated with a reduction in disciplinary reports. Evidence is inconclusive regarding recidivism. (JPS)
