Results from an evaluation of a faith-based, pre-release program implemented in 1997 are presented. Sections of this report are: program overview; process evaluation; and outcome evaluation. An appendix provides IFI sample and comparison grope recidivism rates. The IFI program is "intensive, relatively expensive at $4,764 estimated cost per IFI participant, and requires an extensive network of volunteer and community resources" (p. iii). Graduates of the program have a recidivism rate of 8% after two years, with the matched comparison group having a rate of 20%. Accession Number: 019013
