1 TREATMENT BEHIND BARS: SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT IN NEW YORK PRISONS A Report by the Correctional Association of New York FEBRUARY 2011
2 The Correctional Association of New York (CA) was formed in 1844 by citizens concerned about prison conditions and the lack of services for inmates returning to their communities. In 1846, the New York State Legislature granted the CA authority to inspect prisons and report on its findings. Through four projects Juvenile Justice, Prison Visiting, Public Policy/Drug Law Repeal, and Women in Prison the CA advocates for a more humane prison system and a more safe and just society. The Prison Visiting Project (PVP) is the arm of the Correctional Association that carries out this unique legislative authority for the male prisons. PVP visits seven to ten of New York s 67 state correctional facilities each year and issues facility specific reports on prison conditions to both policymakers and the public. In addition to its general prison monitoring, PVP conducts indepth studies on specific corrections issues and publishes comprehensive reports of findings and recommendations. Current in-depth research areas include: healthcare, mental health care and substance abuse treatment. PVP produces reports, presents at forums, and engages in activities aimed at educating the public about prison conditions, the high cost of incarceration and the need for alternatives. The Project also works with legislators, corrections officials, former prisoners, service providers and community organizations to develop more humane prison policies. All the prison reports prepared by the Project since 2004 are available on the Correctional Association web page.

3 Acknowledgments Substance Abuse Treatment in NY Prisons, ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Substance Abuse Treatment in New York Prisons, was principally authored by Cindy Eigler, Associate Director of Special Projects for the Correctional Association s Prison Visiting Project and coordinated by Jack Beck, the Director of the Prison Visiting Project. Significant editorial assistance was provided by Amber Norris, former Associate Director of General Monitoring for the Prison Visiting Project, Darcy Hirsh, current Associate Director of General Monitoring for the Prison Visiting Project, Rosemary McGinn, Project Consultant, and Gerald Melnick, Project Consultant. Ms. McGinn s input and expertise and detailed editing of the report proved invaluable and considerably improved the quality and scope of this report. This report could not have been completed without the hard work of all of our interns, with special recognition of Monica Barrera Contreras, Rachael Feeney, Britt Fremstad, and Allyson Walker for their significant contributions. Robert Gangi, Executive Director of the Correctional Association, guided the project from inception to completion. Correctional Association Board members Gail Allen, M.D., Nereida Ferran, M.D., Clay Hiles and Ralph Brown, Jr., Chair of the Prison Visiting Committee, provided very beneficial input through the Advisory Committee for this project. We especially thank Mr. Brown and Dr. Allen for their careful review of the report and their editorial input. We would also like to thank Troy Lambert for generously volunteering his time and talent to design the cover for this report. We express our gratitude to and regard for Assembly Member Jeffrion Aubry, Chair of the Assembly Standing Committee on Correction, for his dedication to improving prison substance abuse treatment and his support of the CA s efforts to investigate and report on prison conditions in New York State. We also would like to thank Community Education Centers, Inc. (CEC), Gateway Foundation Inc. and WestCare Foundation Inc. for helping us identify and contact model substance abuse treatment programs throughout the country. We extend a very special thanks to the prison-treatment program we visited in New Jersey and the program staff we interviewed in Illinois, Texas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Illinois, who provided us with very useful information and perspectives on the key elements needed to run effective treatment programs. We would also like to thank The Fortune Society, Phoenix House, Exponents and Peter Young Housing, Industries and Treatment (PYHIT) for allowing us to speak with clients and staff about the reentry process for individuals with substance abuse histories in New York State prisons. We also wish to express our great appreciation to the following officials at the New York State Department of Correctional Services: Commissioner Brian Fischer, Ken Perlman, Deputy Commissioner for Program Services, Dwight Bradford, Director of DOCS Office of Substance Abuse Treatment Services, and Deputy Counsel William Gonzales for arranging visits, supplying departmentwide information on DOCS substance abuse treatment programs and providing helpful comments. Additionally, we would like to thank the following individuals from the Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS): Steve Hanson and Patricia Flaherty, Bureau of Criminal Justice/Diversion Treatment, OASAS Division of Treatment and Practice Innovation. We hope this report lends support and guidance to DOCS and OASAS state officials in their concerted efforts to enhance prison-based substance abuse treatment services. We would also like to express our gratitude to the individual members of the Advisory Committee, whose significant efforts and extensive expertise were so important to the preparation and completion of the report (please see next page for more details about this distinguished group).

13 Introduction Substance Abuse Treatment in NY Prisons, INTRODUCTION Substance abuse is a daunting problem for the majority of prison inmates nationally and more than three-quarters of those in New York State. The devastation that often accompanies substance abuse places notoriously heavy demands on the criminal justice, correctional and substance abuse treatment systems, as well as on inmates, their families and their communities. The prison system has the unique potential to provide effective drug treatment to this captive population, addressing not only the individual needs of inmates but public health and public safety as well. Not only is the prison system in a unique position to provide drug treatment, but a substantial body of research documents that treatment is, on the whole, more effective than incarceration alone in reducing drug abuse and criminal behavior among substance abusers and in increasing the likelihood that they will remain drug- and crime-free. 1 The need to provide more comprehensive substance abuse treatment services in New York State prisons, similar to the increasing need to provide mental health services in prisons as a result of deinstitutionalization of mental hospital patients, has directly been impacted by the Rockefeller drug laws. With their rigid requirements of mandatory minimum sentencing, the Rockefeller drug laws of 1973 radically restricted judicial discretion in utilizing alternatives to incarceration as a response to drug offenses. The result: 11% of the total prison population in 1980 were individuals incarcerated for drug-related offenses; as of January, 2008, that figure was 33%. Though this past year brought significant reform to the Rockefeller Drug Laws, several mandatory minimum sentences are still on the books and a large number of individuals remain ineligible for alternative to incarceration programs. The considerable increase in this population illustrates one of the many factors that make provision of prison-based substance abuse treatment paramount, as the majority of incarcerated individuals will participate in treatment due to the nature of their offense. As of April 2010, the New York State Department of Correctional Services (DOCS) operated 68 facilities, with 57,650 inmates under custody. Eighty-three percent of inmates were designated by DOCS as in need of substance abuse treatment. 2 To address their needs, DOCS operates 119 substance abuse treatment programs in 60 of its facilities. As of April l, 2009, two of those programs were licensed as treatment programs by the State s Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS); the remainder are operated solely under the aegis and oversight of DOCS. The 2009 reforms to the Rockefeller drug laws call for change, however, requiring OASAS to guide, monitor and report on DOCS substance abuse treatment programs. In 2007, the Correctional Association launched a project to evaluate the needs of inmates with substance abuse problems and the State s response to their needs. The information presented in this report is a result of this effort and presents our findings and recommendations based on visits to 23 facilities, interviews with experts, prison officials and correction officers, more than 2,300 inmate surveys and systemwide data provided by the Department of Correctional Services. 1 Fletcher and Chandler, Principles of Drug Abuse Treatment for Criminal Justice Populations: A Research-Based Guide. 2 This is the number of inmates DOCS has identified with its screening process, not the number of inmates in New York State prisons with a diagnosis of substance/alcohol abuse or dependence.

15 Executive Summary Substance Abuse Treatment in NY Prisons, EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The majority of individuals incarcerated in New York prisons come from urban communities characterized by poverty, unemployment, crime and substance use. These conditions, coupled with the State s law enforcement approach to drug use and sale, inevitably leads to large numbers of individuals with some history of substance use being confined in our prisons. Along with this confinement, however, comes the concomitant obligation that the State should provide services to address the significant substance abuse treatment needs of this population. A substantial body of evidence has established that effective prison-based substance abuse treatment reduces the likelihood of relapse and recidivism for participants. 3 Moreover, the benefits of successful treatment go beyond the recovery of participants to enhancing the quality of life within the prison itself and heightening public health and safety in the greater community. Successful substance abuse treatment programs can lead to increased safety for inmates and prison staff by decreasing prison violence associated with inmate drug use and trafficking, and can foster positive attitudes and behaviors that frequently result in increased participation in educational, vocational and other prison-based programming. Additionally, successful prisonbased treatment reduces drug use by formerly incarcerated individuals on the outside, leading to reductions in crime and more productive and healthy lives for the individuals involved, their families and other members of their community. The New York State Department of Correctional Services (DOCS) reports that 83% of the State s prison population, or approximately 47,850 of the 57,650 4 current inmates, are in need of substance abuse treatment. 5 Many inmates have struggled with addiction for years prior to their incarceration, and many have participated in prison- and community-based treatment programs before their current sentence. Sixty of New York State s 68 correctional facilities operate 119 substance abuse treatment programs, making DOCS the single largest provider of substance abuse treatment in the State. Developed and monitored by the DOCS Office of Substance Abuse Treatment Services, these programs comprise approximately 10,000 treatment slots; about 34,000 inmates are enrolled in these programs annually. Each year, 27,000 individuals nearly 40% of the prison population return home. How well inmates with substance abuse histories are prepared for their reentry into society has a significant impact on their overall success on the outside and on quality of life in their communities. Given the inmate population s considerable need for treatment and the large number of inmates participating in treatment programs, it is crucial that these programs be effective. Successful prison-based treatment is realized only when that treatment is based upon sound strategies carefully matched to the needs and strengths of program participants, and delivered by competent, committed staff. Prison-based treatment can also provide an opportunity to address the unhealthy behaviors that often lead to involvement with the criminal justice system in the first place.
